Thanks for your thoughts. Sadly there really isn't much of a way to add exposure without attempting to reach the trending page which is a massive investment and then honestly I don't even think you gain much exposure.
If everyone was to resteem the contest page each week then maybe we would gain more free exposure, which is the only type we can afford...lol.
You were late by a bit for the test, but you gave good thoughts so getting the 100% vote all the same.
Thanks! And yeah also widespread exposure probably does not bring the right people.
In looking for a valid criticism, that's the best I could come up with. You've got a great project here!
