Hello,
*I'm sorry for the last post. Still trying to figure out out the site works. Apparently i can't remove or edit it...
That said, it's clear I'm new to this. I'm actually trying alternatives to those sites you like so much but where I feel you spend most your life bidding for projects instead of working and making money on them. (I also think many evaluations are biased or incorrect on those sites). As you and berberguy said, each person has their preferences.
Not wanting to be confrontational but being allowed to share my personal opinion still:
Just trying to resume that information on this thread being about lamatop's extension should be taken with an open mind, that being mandatory when trying new income sources.
That said, I read you 2 or 3 times in this same thread, saying you're not into PTC and stuff and that you like fiverr better, which people here seem to have respected, and as such, I don't understand the need to keep bragging that this little project or the other are not a good as the other one. One starts wondering why you are here if you don't like it.
This thread is not about fiverr or other projects and diminishing here on personal preference seems kind of misplaced content.
that said, i would also like to say that world economy has had for millennia many currencies as it now has an immense number of virtual ones which, for their impact on financial systems, are gaining importance and value on the world's economy (not that I know much about it) but one should be aware that there isn't only USD in the world, and that it is not an universal currency. You can't really expect Russian companies to adopt USD just for one's virtual convenience.
So, lamatop is a browser extension that is paying the equivalent to about $4 USD cents every other day with no effort. For as long as it pays, little by little, it can be a promotor of bigger income if one figures out how to use that small income to generate some more.
Wishing us all good fortune in future income endeavors.
Yours sincerely,
The newbie
Thanks for your lengthy explanation and for the apology as well - all accepted ? Although I won't lie, I do question whether it's really genuine when it's then peppered with backhanded comments such as the insinuation that I keep
'bragging' about my preference for Fiverr over PTC sites and what
'I'm doing here' if I don't like PTC sites.
To be clear, my saying I prefer Fiverr has nothing to do with bragging. I'm simply stating things as they are, putting them out there for people who may want to compare between the two types of platforms. It's generally how forum such as BMF work. It's really no skin off my nose whichever they choose to go with, after all, it's not as if I'm a Fiverr agent who's being paid to promote the site. I'm simply giving my account of why the site works for me personally over say PTC sites.
As to why I'm here if I don't like PTC sites - last I checked this is a forum and generally, my almost 10 years' experience of working on platforms such as these dictates that any member of a forum can comment on any thread that interests them, be it based on their understanding of the platform being discussed, their past experience of said platform, pure curiosity, the desire for better understanding of the platform etc As far as I understand, my dislike of a certain type of earning platform doesn't preclude me from commenting on any discussion around it. If anything, it actually adds value to the discussion, giving a more holistic picture of the situation. Likewise, fellow members can choose to pick and choose whichever comments they gravitate towards or ignore based on their interests. Fellow members don't have to like every single comment they encounter, neither do they have to agree with every single one of them. It's simply not possible. I personally skip over countless comments here every day I log in - whether it's because they don't interest me at all, I don't agree with them but can't be bothered to engage in a debate with certain individuals, I don't like the nasty vibe they carry etc
Regarding my expression of surprise at Lamatop paying in Rubles - again, I believe you read into my comment nothing remotely in line with the emotion I felt. I was just surprised, simple as that. If that doesn't sit well with you, it's certainly not the spirit in which I meant for it to come over. My intention was never to denigrate or question Lamatop's decision to do that. It has nothing to do with me and as I'm sure Lamatop would agree, whatever opinion I have of that has no bearing on their choice to do so. However, the subject being discussed on BMF, a forum I'm a member of, means I can voice my opinion of it as freely and objectively as I choose to as long as I'm not being rude or disrespectful - which is more than I can say of a few characters I have had the displeasure of encountering in all my years of working on the online space.
And lastly, I'm not on BMF to mudsling with fellow members at all. I'm just someone who enjoys writing and interacting with people from all walks of life from the world over. While I do appreciate we won't always agree on various subjects, the last thing I want to do is to ever hit below the belt when I'm disagreeing with anyone and likewise, I'd expect the same from my fellow members as I'm sure many will agree.
