Giveaway rant

I was going to enter but then it was just too much work and I couldn't be bothered to do it.

(Also, since we're ranting about giveaways, I really hate giveaways that allow people to comment as many times as they want. I dunno. I just don't like it. I'd rather everyone just comment once and be done with it.)

I agree, it just seems like far too much effort. And yeah, the "comment as much as you like" ones just seem like a waste of time to me. I don't have the time, nor patience to sit posting on a video for a few weeks. :)

I agree too. But at the end we all have the chance to win.

Hi Deisha,

Jasmine just linked me to this and I just wanted to clarify some things. Firstly, this app is just like almost any other app on facebook, and you can easily revoke permissions so it doesnt spam (and I had it confirmed by haulerdeals that it won't auto post anything to begin with). I wasn't expecting so much flack for hosting a giveaway with haulerdeals, I just wanted to have a fun, fancy prize for my subscribers. The main reason I disabled comments on my video was because people were only mentioning things like how the app says it can autopost, but not clarifying that you can turn that off. I totally understand not wanting to enter regardless, Honestly going in to it I didn't know that getting enough points would require you to have so many people sign up, and if I did I definitely would have been much more hesitant to do the giveaway to begin with (I'm much more for random winners versus spam!)
Apologies again for any issues you may have had.

@ Leesha. I Understand you. You and the other YT'ers didn't have anything to do with it. I appreciate it when you guys host giveaways. SO don't feel about that

The only thing that bothered me was that I had to refer a friend to get to the required points. Didn't like that. I did change the facebook app after I saw your link. So that is no problem.

After I saw heather's response about the links with virus and the company autopost. (Don't know if it's true.) I unlike and removed the app just for precaution. Luckily I used the account of my makeup related things.

When I wrote that post I was a bit annoyed at the above mentioned fact, that's why I posted it. I am going to delete it, because I don't want to cause any problems. I'm not really into that. I kinda feel bad that you had to give a response. Like I sad it's not about you girl. It's just the company.

To prevent this to be a big issue, I think it's better to delete the post.

I hope you have a great day or night.

Deisha.

PS. I love your tutorials and you are a very sweet, talented & creative person.

I agree. My recent giveaway I feel had too much involved in it. I'm making them more simple from now on. I really like when people have the option to get "bonus" entries. "like my facebook for an extra chance etc"
