This is an awesome idea! I have been trying to come up with contest ideas that at least break even for me... so far my grape cartoon one is my only success and it JUST broke even. This is very clever, I hope it works!

It wasn't meant to work. I totally had about $40 SBD in my account that SHOULD have completely covered this. I had no intention of NEEDING the payout from this post. I was just hoping to get folks (like my normal 7) out there commenting more and I could reward them. Had no idea I'd be working the next 3 months to cover this week's adventures.
S'okay though. I did it and I shall be responsible. It's my (darned) way. 😍
You are too cute for your own good honey! tip! for being cute, generous and responsible!
Yay! Tips for cuteness! Something I can always count on. 😍
I've had a heck of a few days cause of this little post. I must work EXTRA hard to be able to come through- and I shall!
Hi @carrieallen! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @fishyculture!
Check out new tipuvote! feature :)
I gave up a while ago on creating contents even more so with the hope of them breaking even. I once made a contest where i wanted to see if I could even give away 5 SBD in total. 1 SBD to 5 different people who followed a rather simple set of instructions.
It failed miserable! Who would think trying hand out money in a gift economy could go so wrong!
I gave a tip to a guy yesterday who thought I was demanding a tip from him, even though the little comment saying I had tipped him was RIGHT BELOW the comment where he was ripping me a new butthole...
Some country's it is seen as rude to tip people maybe that was the issue. It can be taken as a sign as "you are so horrible at this you are going need this tip to survive."
When it comes to whales however they are use to people begging and demanding free things from them. So they tend not to read everything because it happens so often to them.
No good deed goes unpunished! hehe.
Yeah, this was a case of the latter. I had not even noticed he was a whale or I might not have been inclined to do it... lol! But he admitted he thought I was demanding a tip, then kept bitching at me for using a bot to tip him when I said I never used bots. Except I never said that, he did. I QUOTED that and tipped him for it, and the whole fuster cluck began... lol! It got straightened out... sort of... but I will forever think that he is pretty much a (insert any socially unacceptable four letter word you choose here.)
Oh, dang. Whoopsie. Gotta watchout for them whales!
Are you in Discord ever? Cause you could tell me who it was. 😎
Lol! I have considered running a contest... "Catch fishy in discord! If you can talk to me before I bolt for the door, win an SD!" I try. It is a new trick this old dog is just not getting the hang of. But you remove the symbol at the front, put a few spaces in and it is safe enough to say once upon a time. I think. I hope... 🙄
LOL! I totally understand. Discord is HARD. I'm in the process of bringing new folks in and Discord has a bigger learning curve than Steemit!
I've finally gotten comfortable over there, but for the life of me, can't think of how to make it easier for newbies.
I'll probably wake up one day and just know. 🤩
