So, what if two people joined forces. For instance, if the goal is to be the 24th commenter, and there are people waiting for the 23rd commenter, one person agrees to reply so the person they're teamed up with can quickly reply and be the 24th. And on the next contest they switch roles so the other can be the winner. (I hope I explained that well!!)
That might encourage interacting between Steemians. Good luck to everyone and congrats to all the winners!
Yip that can be done and it is done already as our husband and wife above as well as how folks do so in my other contests ;)
