So, in effect, I'm shilling an advertiser's link which has no relevance to my tweet or really to anything else I might be saying or doing at that moment. Fraid I'll pass; I guess I still believe that I should be tweeting and posting things I believe in and don't mind promoting. I'd even feel more comfortable tweeting your link "thetreasureblog" or a hashtag than your advertisers. I understand advertisers pay the bills, just saying.
- unignorant 16y agoYeah, I understand that there is a bit of a disconnect on that point. If anyone has suggestions for some good alternatives, I'm happy to hear them! As it stands, the sponsor link is disclosed at the beginning of each contest, so I suppose you might only play in the contests supported by things that you like. Thanks for the feedback.
- notahacker 16y agoI get the feeling that the people that will happily spam advertisers' links for a chance of winning a prize demographic has relatively little overlap with the people interested in avant-garde books on philosophy demographic. I think the advertising model has a decent chance of working - but if I wanted to make money from it I'd aim it at the people that play mafia spam games and fill in "which irritating popstar are you" quizzes.
