Then the website should be called as "Contestit" or "Challengeit", not as "Steemit".
I rarely enter contests nowadays, but I tried to submit some hunts to Steemhunt.
Even my hunts are ignored. I submitted two hunts. My first hunt got veryfied, but didn't received an upvote from Steemhunt.
The comment that says "Impressive Hunt, Your Hunt just got Verified!" received more payout ($0.22) than my hunt ($0.07).
My second hunt is ignored. No approval, no rejection, no anything. There are zero comments under that post. Absolutely no comments. So it is literally ignored. Totally ignored. And that is not the only post without any comment.
To be honest, Steemit and some associated products/dApps with it are a big disappointment for me.
I will probably stick to dPoll and to Musing.
Those are working dApps for me on the Steem blockchain nowadays.
