I wanted to ask a question and is unrelated to the post. What happened to @disconnect? Those contest he/she was compiling every day contributed to a huge part of my success when I returned back to steemit.

I may not be as active as I use to be b4 but there are still many of us that believes that just writing random post won't get you the needed upvote except you partake in a contest and win some steem/SP. Back then, participating contest was one way to get noticed by big steemians and gradually build themselves on the platform.

It does have its disadvantages because it starts getting boring when you read a particular topic from different contestants over and over again. But to a large extent it gave people who don't have anything to write about a topic to write on and in return make some cool steem for themselves, gain visibility and build confidence to keep creating more content.
