Com Contest Winners and New Contest ||What made you give up on guiding a newbie? (cc-wk18)
WELCOME!
The 16th week [cc-wk17] of the Com contest had 8 entries, with interesting and stories on "What’s stopping you from owning iPhone 17?". Below are the top three entries:
Gold🥇
It’s not that I don’t like the iPhone 17. In fact, I love everything about it the futuristic design, the crazy camera quality, the smooth performance. But love doesn’t pay Apple. Love doesn’t translate into thousands of dollars. The truth is, I’m so broke that if they ever start accepting “good intentions” as a form of payment, maybe I’d qualify. Until then, my reality remains the same I’ll just admire it from afar and pretend I don’t care...
Silver🥈
Or just maybe Apple hasn't really given me what I want (allegedly 😅). Maybe when the iPhone 17 prevent NEPA from taking light or chases mosquitoes away when I'm enjoying my sleep, then I'd consider getting an iPhone 17, as I remain patient waiting for the next iPhone 18 next year, then I can get iPhone 17 that'd be cheaper by then...
Bronze🥉
The crazy part is that the price of the iPhone is as unstable as the waves of the ocean. How can the producers place a price at $799 and later it shot up to $1200 but here in my beloved country, it is sold for a whooping #4.5 million naira…..haba, una want to kill person ni 🙆...
Many thanks to all participants!
New Prompt
What made you(Frustrating but hilarious) give up on guiding a newbie on the Hive platform?
Have you ever had a newbie you were guiding on this platform and had to disappear along the line? What happened? Pour your frustrations here.
- Did the person expect to earn $500 per article while you were barely earning $10 per post? And when the person kept bringing up such expectations, you decided to let go?
- Did the person always complain about not having a data subscription to make a post, meanwhile they never stayed away from social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram?
- The newbie gets serious today, disappears for five months, and then gets serious again after that — and it continued like that until you finally gave up.
And so many reasons.
