RE: Why is it so fucking hard to give away money here?
Seems to be getting harder, or its the game element. Recently ran a task request with an extra 34 STEEM bounty. Zero responses. Trying again by not just giving money away (5x5 STEEM for a short review) but books as well, one free ebook download so far. A few months back I ran a number of beta reading contests and these were definitely quite a bit better, but there was a lottery aspect to it, so not sure if its the game aspect or if people are just less interested now because STEEM is low.
I think Steem being low might have something to do with it...but I think it's just general laziness, possibly combined with people just not reading posts.
I miss a lot of posts on my feed though, so maybe it's just that not enough people catch it.
I would think that people from countries that have a lot lower cost of living would be trying to enter as many contests as possible though, as a single win could be as much as they earn in a day or even a week. We're just not seeing that for some reason.
