hi randomproject123. i don't follow your reasoning about the futility of making a post here. personally i review all entries in the contests that i enter and make my own judgement of other people's post. sometimes favorably and sometimes not. regardless of whether other people view my post or not and whether they gain anything from it or not i focus on meeting my own standard of quality in each and every post. sometimes i win, sometimes i think i should have won but i always have the satisfaction of creating a post worthy of putting my name to. it is not so much a competition with others but rather a challenge to myself and that is where the motivation of creating it comes from. best wishes for the endeavors you do choose to participate in.
