Saying Thank You On Giveaways Increases Chances?

I don't consider gratitude as spam, unless it is obvious spamming.
What the heck is wrong with people trying to be nice to each other anyways?

Thats what she sayd .

You can do that, too. What's the problem with that?

That's what I do, if I win I post a comment to thank the person.
Unless it's an invite only giveaway, then I say thanks when entering.
Also if I find out someone whitelisted me, I post a comment on the giveaway to thank them for that

why u do dis ;_;

Yeah, it's a script that lazy people use to join giveaways faster. They're not always scripters, but it's pretty easy to tell the two apart.

Yes, I believe the exact phrasing is:

We encourage users to write comments thanking the giveaway creator for their generosity, although this is not required.

I think my initial point is still valid though. I just think that writing simply "thank you" quickly stops expressing something and just becomes white noise after few people in a row post that.

I mean, you can even find it disrespectful when you think about it - simple "thanks" written 30 times in a row is just bland and seems like the writer didn't even care enough to come up with something more meaningful. Or even worse, sometimes it may mean he didn't read the description of the giveaway, as people sometimes explicitly state thay don't want the "thanks" comments.

If I comment on a giveaway, I'll usually say something like "thank you very much" or "I appreciate this" or to friends I'll just say "Thanks, -friend-" or call them love or something, just because I know a lot of people read the comments. I just ike showing that I appreciate it, but I don't really go out of my way to say much more. Do you?

It doesn't matter really. A comment before or after or even a quick text sent through steam will stop me from blacklisting someone. Heck if I'm in a good mood or you are on my whitelist I probably wouldn't care either way.

You'd be surprised how ungrateful some people can be. But for the most part, people usually take a few seconds to at the very least write a simple "Thank you" after a win.

Hey now you leave my momma out of this. I have many faults but necrophelia isn't one of them...

Not really, how does entering a giveaway show thanks?

Just like telling a playing a video game isn't saying thanks to a dev, but leaving a review/recommending it to friends and stuff is much nicer to them.

To me, entering without commenting isn't showing my gratitude. It feels more like taking for granted the fact that someone is giving a game away and that it's not worthy in itself to be thankful.

I'm always grateful for the opportunity that's being offered to me. No one is forced to to give anything and the fact that someone willingly chose to give a game to complete strangers over the Internet deserve some recognition in my book. I always comment a thanks or thank you at the very least, and try to be more creative when I'm less in a hurry or feel inspired.

I prefer it when you say nothing at all

Or force people to say what YOU like
I don't care

Damn racist's, I get white-listed for my gratitude, while you get black-listed for yours.
Maybe we should breed.
In the end we all be beige.

Don't worry, thanks to support being so lazy, I had no giveaway running (waiting for the game to be added) so you're still on my whitelist.

Try not to waste too much time on it wondering, there are giveaway's to enter.
.

• According to the law of averages you have an average chance of winning everything all at the same time.
• According to the law of attraction, the more you give the more you give again and keep on giving.
• And according to Norse belief's you must sacrifice something meaningful to receive what you wish.

Hope this helps with your wondering maybe's and severely cuts down the amount of time you most certainly will waste wondering about maybe's.

No, it doesn't matter how many people enter. Saying "Thanks!" always boosts your probability of winning

What? Lol everyone else also saying thx would cancel out any extra chance you had, so in the end, even if you started with any extra chance, there wouldn't be any. However we know there's no extra chance by commenting because giveaways choose the winner at random. So you were saying?

Thank you :D
