RE: Are There Too Many Contests on Steem?

in #fknmayhem-tumbls • 7 years ago

As a former blog network manager I can say that contests are mostly self-serving and NOT about giving away or supporting the community.

YES! I'm actually doing more thinking about moving away from the contest model and just doing giveaways instead ☺

    I once defined in steemit.chat what would b an thical contest:

    • No upvoting required
    • No following required
    • No resteeming required

    I think your contests, which are awesome giveaways btw, fall under that.

    Worst contest/competitions I've seen on Steem are those with a minimum upvote requirement. Say "Prize will only be awarded if post reaches $70".

    So, basically, you get some dolphins or orcas to downvote so post only ever hits $65 and you bank it all, flipping the bird on everyone?
