RANT Liked and Shared

Zanzib

I don't do the ones that require me to share as part of the entry conditions, not those that require me to tag friends.

Ha, this is one of my comping pet peeves.

It can come across as a bit spammy imo.

people think they will get noticed more if they do that?
i guess it might work if the comp runner can't be bothered to go through the like/shares

I sometimes put fab, liked & shared. I avoid the ones where you have to tag more than 3 people cos I don't want to annoy people any more than necessary.

On the subject of the op I some times use Compers Haven for Facebook comps & they automatically put like & shared.

It really grates on me tbh.
I think I wouldn't mind it so much if people actually wrote "I've liked and shared this status" but just the words "liked and shared" I find really passive-aggressive!!
It annoys me more when people put "liked and shared" when there was an app!! How do they think that helps????


AND - not being funny but whenever someone shares something I post, I get a notification saying "Joe Bloggs shared your status". I don't need Joe Bloggs to comment saying that he's shared it, in order to know this!
When my friends like my statuses, I get a notification of that too! Surely the companies also get notified the same way?!

I do it as in my experience, the page owner can then tag you in the omments reply bit if you win. Makes it easier for people like me who don't remember the FB comps they enter!

I have won a few prizes this way, and lost a few when I didn't do it (because I missed they announcement on their regular posts), so I shall keep doing it!

I never knew that it means the page owner can tag you if you comment. From now on I'm going to comment, not just liked and shared though.

I even see the 'liked and shared' thing when you're actually supposed to put something specific in the comments and I think 'how stupid, did they even bother to read the post?'
