Have earnings slowed at MyLot? Or am I just having a Really Bad Day?

I was all "stoked" (a Southern California term, I think) because my "moving average" for daily earnings has been climbing fairly steadily at MyLot. And then last night, I posted a tongue-in-cheek piece about Bubblews and its parties that garnered a lot of attention. I also left a bunch of comments on others' discussions, many of which elicited responses. But my bank is barely moving at all today. Am I the only one experiencing this? I also noticed the other night that the bank was only updating every other hour, not every hour, as I'd grown used to. Did anyone else notice that? I've been a bit worried that if too many people join MyLot too quickly, they might have to adjust their payment rates downward until ad revenues catch up with the number of people participating here. I hope that's not happening. Or could it be something peculiar to my account? The photo is of a "doctor bear" one of my kid clients gave me several years ago after he had to visit the hospital. I'm hoping my account isn't "ill"!

I'm not really watching the earnings, just enjoying the activity. But maybe I should watch?

I can't resist the temptation to peek at the bank now and then.

@safetyashwanth Checking your balance only requires looking up and to the left. It's not a "time-consuming" activity.

@TheHorse It's always on my screen when I log on so I always see it.

I hope today when you check it will be a different story. I noticed yesterday that not only did my earnings update for yesterday, but also for the day before. Your connections may have been busy having a life away from myLot yesterday.

Mine went up, but really slowly. And sometimes it appeared to update only every other hour (whe I was around at 18 after the hour, or whenever it was that they update), not the usual once an hour. A life away from MyLot? How could this be!

What kind of a set-up are you referring to? Or could there be a delay between getting responses and seeing the results in the bank? I'm not sure. I'm just learning how things work here.

@Marcyaz That's what I like about this site! I dont have to think of something to post about every few hours (though I think I post almost every day). I can just go visiting and read what other are thinking about.

Many of my actual posts (discussions) don't get that much attention. But it seems that my comments wind up being part of on-going discussions.

I am surprised to read this from you, my dear. You see, I seldom write & join discussions here because my eyes are "killing me again". So, I am giving it an ample rest. But, I still see my bank growing. That excites me! And how I wish I could stay longer in myLot & maybe find myself having a 1st redemption after being here last October 7. Am hoping for that. Re, yours. I hope there's just a delay in the "adjustment" of the numbers in your bank. I hope it will show your expected combinations, ASAP.

@TheHorse I suggestion feature which I quite liked is now no more so it is time consuming trying to find friends postings.

@Marcyaz Oh, I noticed that too. The dip (for me) did come on the day after the Share feature was disabled, even though I didn't use it. I find my friends my searching through my own posts for repsonses.

Which changes are you referring to? Even if mine dips for a few days, I hope the overall trend is still upward. I have to update some progress notes now, so I'll be on computer for awhile, giving me time to leave comments here.

Honestly I don't know. I was on my,ot in 2008 and back then, the payment system was very different. I have only been back a couple days and am trying to figure out what is and isn't the norm again,

All I know is that posting isn't as important as interacting. And we're rewarded when others RESPOND to our posts and comments. I post once or twice a day, but I try to leave lots of comments on others posts (posts are called Discussions, I think).

@Samanthavv That's a good idea, I think. And also post now and again so people can get a sense of who you are and what you enjoy.

@softbabe44 I'm off to a better start today than yesterday. But things still seem slow for me. We'll see what happens this evening. I've been working with a friend on some speakers we're going to restore. Maybe others are out enjoying the day.

I think it all depends on how much interaction we do. I hope on and off and do some here and there, every day. A little bit does go a long way. Hang in there. It takes time.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. That's what I do too. Check in. Leave a few comments. Head out. Have a life. Come back home. Repeat as necessary.

@KristenH I still haven't gotten back to the levels of my second month here (I think that would have been November of last year). But I'm still plugging away and enjoying it.

@TheHorse You're welcome. Well something like it. It depends on how often you're on the website. Then watch the earnings flow. It took me awhile to make some money in my first two days or so.

@BytheHorse I am new so I wouldn't know if my earnings are good or not. After the way some of the other sites are I don't see any difference yet except on the others you don't see what you are making so easily.

@ramapo17 In a sense, it doesn't affect any of us, since we all gt paid eventually. But if what they ultimately do increases motivation, then it might increase overall revenues and conversations for all of us.

Yes, that was just a bad day. Generally days fluctuate within a range. Until my account was hit by a glitch of some sort, my "moving average" was gradually rising, while individual days would fluctuate over a fairly wide range (say 45 cents to 90 cents).
