Likes for Likes, anyone?

Was it yesterday or a couple of days ago when my notification was filled with likes of my recent discussions, comments and responses by one user? I'm not saying I didn't appreciate it, but it reminded me of bubblews where likes were paid too.
Has the rules on mylot changed that I wasn't aware of? Are the likes paid as well? I hope not! As far as I can remember likes aren't paid here or have i been wrong all along?
I'm the kind of mylot user that appreciates responses and comments than likes. I am grateful for the likes as well, but I enjoy more when people respond to my discussions or make comments on my responses. I prefer being interactive.
Thank you for the likes, but let's be friends and have fun by exchanging ideas through responses and comments.
Kisses,
Toni

YOU get paid if someone 'likes' something you do, yes. They don't earn for it. I actually disabled the 'like' notifications, they were too bothersome.
A 'like' shows interest, and it is one of the conditions we earn for.

I know it shows interests. But why would someone just like everything I did without responding to any of the discussions and comments that they liked?
Maybe i should disable my like notification too. Thanks for the info.

@toniganzon I've tried to tell a few users I see 'liking' everything that they don't earn for doing it, but a lot of them don't listen

Hahaha didn't say you couldn't like it if you really do! 
You still could, but I'd appreciate your response more actually. What I am not really so happy about is when people just like everything of what i did but they don't respond at all.

@toniganzon Yes, i don't like that too . I prefer that they like and also comment because i think when they like we earn for that also .

Yep that's what some thought that they could earn from that. I guess they should go back to reading the rules again.

It's not the notification that bothers me but the act itself of liking without actually responding or commenting.

Yes I thought we were only paid by commenting and not for likes. People must enjoy reading your posts so are liking them

If you read the earnings FAQ you would see we get paid for three different interactions we receive here.
Replies. likes (which show interest) and reading (if someone follows a link to read what you have written).

@JolietJake Gee thanks. Then i think the rules really have changed. Because it wasn't so 6 years ago. I have read the FAQ when i came back but I guess i missed that part.

I guess we are wrong because @JolietJake said we are paid. However, we don't get paid like how bubblews does with the likes before.

I'm not sure if you are paid for likes, only commenting I believe but could well be wrong. Yes Bubbles one cent for a like lol.

Yes I agree with you .. liking only is without substance .. it's better to spend quality time on here by reading and responding or commenting ..

They're not paid when you like somebody's post. You are paid when somebody interacts with you like when i responded to you right now.

@just4him yes they do but the point of myLot is to have an engaging discussion. If we just like everybody's posts without saying anything where's the discussion there?

I don't think so. A response is more valuable than likes.

@toniganzon I know the response is more valuable, but I think the like counts as well.

Just likes alone won't make me happy. It defeats the purpose of this site. We should interact.

It's just like facebook. we get notification of likes and responses or comments. The purpose is to let you know who gives you likes and who commented on your postings.

I know exactly what the purpose is. And I am not bothered by the notification at all.
I am bothered by the likes with no comments at all. How else could we have a discussion if you will just like all my posts and say nothing about it? Isn't it defeating the purpose of this site?

Maybe you're right, but i don't see any point in liking someone's posts when you don't respond at all. It defeats the purpose of this site which is DISCUSSION!

A 'like' is a form of interaction, it 'shows interest' and we are paid for that.

give and take? That isn't my thing. I love how it used to be on mylot where we just all chatted like friends and share our ideas. Liking my posts without saying anything, isn't a discussion.

that happens to me too. If I have nothing to say, I just leave it at that.
