Why do so many discussions start the same?

Why do so many discussions that wind up with huge responses happen to be very similar in the topic? I noticed that the topic of making money comes up in several high traffic discussions as an example I would like to see more variety how about you?

Hi dear! Everyone is interested in making money, therefore, anything relating to earning money gets many responses and many visitors to such discussions.. You see users are required some topics to start a discussion and they go for some easy topics, rather than scratching their heads for heavy and serious topics and there are less takers for serious topics.

Discussions landed on the hot topics seems to attract more responders even if most of them seems similar in nature. Me, personally had responded to several discussion with the same topics. Also, if someone had created a very good reputation here in myLot, the probability that his/her discussion will have more responses.

I have considered to give up trying to start the hot topics. At least for a while. I barely break 10 with mine. Maybe one day I will start as many topics as I possible can in a day. Like maybe 30 or 40. Thanks for responding.

This time I prefer to respond and comment rather than to start a new discussion.Although sometimes when I feel to or I have something very important query then I start a topic. During my first month here I use to start at least ten to twenty topics but now it's rare I make new one because of time limit. I am happy and contented to read instead when there is no enough time to type my opinion.I just enjoy roaming on some areas which I interests to, that's it.

Yes agreed. I do know this, its like when you are having a craving for a certain food. You find that several others are savoring the same thing.
