Giveaways are controversial, I agree. I hosted one myself one too, until recently. It was an upvote giveaway to support undervalued posts. I decided to quit it because of the reasons that I described here and I have had so much more time to work on posts that I really enjoy since then. Giveaways (and regular series in general) do look like easy template posts, many of them actually are easy template posts but sometimes, there can be quite a lot "invisible" work and stress behind them and that´s also what I tried to discuss in that post. I still run two regular weekly initiatives as I have been getting positive feedback about them and I don´t mind keeping them alive but the moment they start not to be considered beneficial for the community anymore, I will be happy to quit them too and dedicate the spare time to working on original and creative content that I really enjoy working on and that´s usually also more supported by curators. Btw feel free to tell me your opinion on those two series that I still run. You are a very respected member of our community and I value and consider opinions of such people. Thank you.
