Since weeks if not months or years the discussion about hashtags continues but it would help if communities are strict. They just complain but do not act. You can't say A and do B. It's what happens here whole the time. If you set rules stick to them yourself and if you forgot edit.

Commenting can be learned but takes a lot of time. These contests are most time consuming because you have to keep answering and even if you do there's a big chance, no matter how long your reply and if there are questions, you never receive an answer back.
Look at the present monkey business with fun for a topic.
It's clear who joins, who looks for and shares humour and who doesn't. So the question is should I continue with this? Are people only willing to say something if I invite them at least twice and they can win the jackpot? Does it bring me anything?

It doesn't feel as if steembetterlife is a club of oeople interested in another or finding different ways to improve their lives.
It isn't all about money.
We have creativity, skills, fun, beauty, music, hobbies,memories, compliments and so much more to better our life if there is awareness.

At times I wonder how many real humans exist. It's as if they are all robots. Machines learned the trick and no brain to think or create.

If it comes to contests - talk with chasad yesterday - there are days/rules, it has to be asked and topic needs to fit to the community.

I don't know what you want to host and if it's visible for many but @freewritehouse is a possibility. I will host a contest there since those responding are mainly freewriters.
