It's getting quiet within the community. Not only members disappear but so did those who once started the community and hosted the contests. The contests are still there but the question is if people are still interested. If you ask me they are not unless you give them a lot of money for doing nothing. You need to be big to use that trick. As big as Steemit. Suddenly people started writing diaries for the diary game. Why? Not because they like it, not because they love to share their lives and not because they love spending time on Steemit reading the daily fake life of other people. No, it's the fast money that calls. The hope for fast money. I honestly hope if those 1000 days of steel(it) are over people keep writing but that is an illusion. There are hardly any writers here and of those who publish to 95% writing 200 words is too much asked. Two hundred words is 10 minutes time. If you think about it ot's a joke people say they cannot miss those 10 minutes a day.
A problem of Steemit is they do not stand for something. I doubt they will be the largest, only, diary on the blockchain. It's not different if it comes to CCC. Without help, you can forget about all those great goals. Goals like upvoting, investing in each other. There's no "together we are strong" and "creed" changed into greed. If people are not positive, not doing something out of fun (how come they do on Facebook and Twitter without the hope to get paid?) It's a lost cause. If you start paying after begging to join a contest, the contest is a lost case. The greedy ones disappear as soon as they smell more money elsewhere. Those quick one-line publishers are not the types to invest, not in CCC not in Steemit. They take what is free, are not smart enough to bet on two horses, and next backstab you. I wonder how many people stay on Steemit if they earn nothing or... need to pay to be able to publish. Would it increase the amount of good content?
This is my entry to the CCC contest What does CCC mean to you 3.13

It is as it is and the only thing we can do now is see how things develop on Steemit and with the community. Perhaps it is time for something new, a new contest or no contest at all?
Thank you for your entrt. We appreciate it.

It is pretty much the same everywhere I suppose. Writing for passion is no longer a priority. Money is certainly a driving point for many. I find it hard to come back with the Thursday contest because only 2 person truly cares - you and @gertu.

Sad to end such a good contest. That many are only interested in writing anything and winning the award. Many were not interested in supporting each other.
Well the king died long live the king!

I agree the problem is the lack of support, comments and upvotes. If no one upvotes us there's no way to earn and pay for the prizes. I am powering down but it's not my intention to power down back to zero.
I noticed @team-ccc still earns well and I wonder with what since I post on my accounts more frequently.
I lost nearly each contact which means I need to work on engagement.
@gertu I wonder if people stop joining your contest if you pay less or only give upvotes. People still join you and you pay not as much as team-ccc or me.
I noticed @freedomshift pays with SBI again.
@felixgarciap is still on Hive?

Si me mantengo en el concurso solo puedo pagar lo que me dan de recompensa. Y no es mucho.
No se recibe mucho apoyo y no se si las personas seguirán en el concurso si continuo con 0.500 steem. Es muy poco.
quiero algo donde se participe, donde se colabore uno con el otro. Pero las publicaciones de los participantes no son valoradas. Solo aparece la recompensa que nos damos con los votos y ya.
Creo que mi concurso llegó a su fin. O tendré que hacer algo distinto. No lo se.
Si @felixgarciap, continua en las dos plataformas.

you didn't lose me. Im not here very often. a lot went to the other blockchain or stopped. also because how things went and if everyone goes there then it will be empty here. but must you pay for publishing on steem? ohokok then it is time to power down the rest here it wont be a future.
greedy well look there are a lot of rules if you dont follow them tehn you are screwed. Doin contests is also about the price a sport to build your account. What is the use of writing if no one reads them or you don't get paid.. it was the slogan also get paid to write but count the hours you put into it and the payout you could better fill in online forms for money you get better paid. oh and don't fall for those you get paid for gaming apps they don't pay and you must watch tons of commercials.

No need to start a contest now if it's just for me and @gertu it's exchanging Steem although it is nice to think about something different for a change.
I left @freedomshift a message (July) and no response. Deleted Discord and told him underneath his post he can contact me here or at Telegram.
We can see how we and Steemit are doing at the end of the year. I have something to post about next to free writing that's all.

Tienes toda la razón. Ya nuestros concursos no llegan a nadie. Las personas no tiene creatividad. No le sacan a los concursos lo que tienen en su corazón.
Si no se trata de ganar mucho dinero, no insisten. Fue bueno mientras hubo mucha gente esperando recompensa. Ya no es bueno escribir tanto por poco dinero.
Yo sigo aquí, pero con este tema de la semana en mi concurso me doy cuenta de muchas cosas. No hay interés, no hay creatividad. Creo que me daré por vencida y terminaré aquí. Esta semana.
You're right. Our contests no longer reach anyone. People have no creativity. They don't take what they have in their heart out of contests.
If it's not about making a lot of money, don't insist. It was good while there were many people waiting for a reward. It is no longer good to write so much for little money.
I'm still here, but with this topic of the week in my contest I realize many things. There is no interest, there is no creativity. I think I'll give up and end up here. This week.

The lack of creativity is because of your title. People think it's about recipes and do not read further. You explained it twice if not more but they all stick to the recipes. The only thing you can do is change the contest and do not give a number but let creativity win.
If you stop please, let it know in time.

I don't think it's a title.
Because you can do something with so many things, but people find it easy to talk more about food.
Right now that I asked to talk about frogs and toads, no one can think of a drawing or a story of so many there are. They don't read the rules. They don't read the recommendations. It's sad to end. But tomorrow I say goodbye to the contest. @wakeupkitty.

Very heartfelt words, actually appreciating it from that point of view everything depends on each person, in my personal case I am new to these things and I sacrifice because I do not have internet and where I connect is far and it is from time to time, but you know everything is born product of a need, and it is gratifying to be able to communicate and participate, to be taken into account.

I struggle with connection problems too and it's hard to load Steemit. What I do is this. I write on my phone (the community contests are always the same some change the theme) and if I have a connection I post it all. It's not ideal but the best I can do.
Welcome to CCC and Steemit. 🍀💕
