Spending money on Snizl for extra entries - worth it?

Daymade is it a con?
I've just seen an ad for a competition service Daymade. It all looks professions (maybe too professional) but when you look a bit deeper the questions come. All their reviews are from October 2024 onwards with many reviewers leaving multiple reviews. You don't win the same comp regularly enough to leave so many reviews in…

How does Riddlefish keep track?
I started doing Riddlefish because it seemed like a harmless way to do a puzzle with the chance of a reward. Has anyone else used it for a while?
