There was a comp posted about a year ago and it was the first 100 people to comment or something won a jar of pesto or something, I did "win" one of them but that's not really a proper competition ... even then, turn's out they were out of stock of the prize so had to wait for them to re-stock, I didn't even bother getting back in touch with them.
I don't do IG, I've won a couple of Facebook "Live party" type competitions but never from a comment / share type post but then I don't generally enter them.
I believe that when it says picked by random, that this is not always the case and the companies do read your comments and do decide whether you ‘ fit’ their brand.
I don’t have proof as such but it’s just my opinion from personal experience.
I have won on Instagram and Twitter but way less than Facebook.
I'm what your poll would call a social media animal, when I bother to sit still and comp I knock a few hundred tweets out most with comments.
Over advents I knocked out at least 200+ a day and had quite a few wins from twitter.
