People saying it is unfair bcus they would participate if they knew, however
I think it's even fairer that those who participated for the actual comp got surprised w a present for trying to win! The other's would've just scrabbled down some stuff to get participation prize!

Controversial take

This actually only got me in a jiffy because I saw one single model on the american tiktok ban thread complaining about ppl complaining and that it was a good thing bcus of people were this upset over it it means they need a break

But then got their balls in a super twist over this participation prize thing I was like
Maybe that means you need a break sad

idk i dont see that big of a problem
sure some ppl will be sad they didnt get it but if you make a comp you want ppl to join bc it seems fun not for the prize
if the prize is the only interesting thing about your comp then youre gonna get a bunch of quick entries from ppl who couldnt care less

Fair enough if the participation prize was the original overall prize for the comp and the event had low entry numbers

Fairly sure there's times on et I did that. But if it's an additional prize not previously stated then it's frustrating

kinda a dumb move honestly lol

this was mostly from like business pov, considering all that matters for companies is engagement. the users who are upset abt not getting the set because they didn't participate are a bit. well... they are prolly used to getting stuff without much effort :')

i think also the whole uproar itself shows why it's a bad idea - you just Know people are gonna sell and overprice the sets because of fomo

I mean,,, surprise participation prizes would keep people participating,,,

It is crappy for people who didn't participate
But if you didn't participate anyway you have no reason to complain about not getting a participation prize,,,

That's what i think at least

like.. they didn't say people who participated would be getting a set, so after the comp ends and the participants get a set everyone is confused?

yea i think the fomo will inflate the value of the set a lot

but otherwise i don't think it's a terrible idea, but yeah it's probably better to let the users know beforehand, unfortunately not all surprises are good even when that's the intention... is what i assume yes..
