I have to admit I am with @Jhayppy and @BKPOWER8 in this. It really defeats the purpose of a #post2earn and lowers the credibility of the program if it comes from the community and goes back to the community. It was ok as a one-off, but if it happens a few more times, it is less and less #post2earn - the way it is advertised.

I did suggest some of these to Phil in our chat before the earlier effort you drove. Putting it in public for @edokoevoet and the @DesocialWorld Team's consideration:

1. Choose a Lower Amount - Instead of $1250, do 10 Contributions of $125 each as an NFT and maybe only one big contributor picks up all 10.

2. Increase the visibility they get for the amount. Why not do 1 promoted posts or Pinned Post for 1-3 days every month. Maybe some NFT projects wouldn't mind sponsoring a $125 NFT then. Think @Unicat, @SharkGang @PenWyn @cloutpunk @Miceheads increasing their sales by even 2-3 NFTs gives them the ROI.

3. Use your own Creator Coin as the Giveaway instead of a Dollar Amount. Also builds loyalty and ownership among your loyal users.

4. Consider using DAO Token and raise a small funding round like you did with @Post2EarnDAO

5. Consider doing a shorter time-frame and maybe even automating the process. Sponsor next 4 weeks for 300$ instead of the $1250. Maybe some project launching a new NFT like @CloutJacks may not mind sponsoring an event during Halloween. Not to put pressure, just quoting examples. I am thinking of the @Krassenstein show being sponsored by a few smaller projects at the time.

Personally, I feel there's still a little bit of gaming in that mass-tagging and people using too many posts are at least 30-50% of the Top 5 and that's also why I feel making it less Top-Heavy will reduce the menace quite a bit. People won't spend 10s of hours mass-tagging for 2-3$ more and also if say 10-25 get 3$ instead of 1$, it will increase loyalty and widen the spread of money.

Last but not least, I do appreciate everyone who contributed the last time and I will consider joining in this time just to be part of the effort. Even if my brain says that it just doesn't make sense. :-)
