Preferred advent entry method

Options
I'm secretly hoping that competition makers will see this poll and stop frustrating us with Instagram competitions that you can't enter due to constantly being banned! Of course there's every chance that Instagram could come out on top - in which case I shall be humbled and quietly sulk about my ban alone.

    They won't. And if they did, they wouldn't care. They are concerned with the visibility of the brand and flogging stuff before Christmas not with making things easier for compers.

    I think some will see it, as often they come here to post (which obviously isn't allowed) But it might be useful knowledge, as compers are often the ones that spread the information. Plus I often buy products or share who I have won from and what, so they do get seen, as I'm very appreciative, I don't just enter to get freebies, I love trying new things and helping spread new businesses or businesses I love too, so those that ban people that enter competitions as a hobby loose out.

    They could always share it on all the platforms but send them to a page on their website, their website traffic would shoot up over the Christmas period if that was the case. 

    I have answered the poll but...
    Website,
    Gleam,
    Facebook,
    Instagram,
    Rafflecopter,
    Threads,
    Email,
    then Twitter (now X) would be my preferred order, I wouldn't mind if there was a small survey either, I just don't want to join TikTok but I see me joining leaning ever so closer 😂 
    Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.

    I completely forgot about gleam, rafflecopter etc. Though tbh I don't mind the short ones of those, but some are ridiculous with the amount of drop downs they add.

    I'm a lone wolf with Twitter then - it appeals to me because you can enter lots easily, similar to Instagram but without the fear of getting banned. It's also easier to share on Twitter if you comp on a PC. Instagram doesn't seem to have the option to share to your story when accessing it from a PC (unless I'm missing something).
