I think that even if money is not spent, effort is spent. I have been entering Hamster Kombat and doing the missions for a long time, but now I am really bored. These distribution events continue to be uncertain. As long as this is the case, people lose their enthusiasm. Speaking for myself, I may stop playing soon. I am thinking of spending my time on more valuable things now.
That's literally what I did, because I felt like it was the most boring method of "making money" there is, and since we don't even know if we will make money or not, its just a guess and nothing more, which is why I think it never made sense for me. If I knew how much this brings, then I may actually consider it depend on the money, but in that case there are people who are willing to "work" for 10% of what I would consider acceptable, so those things never become that high, ends up being peanuts. This one doesn't promise anything, and could be near zero for all the work you put in.
So, the idea of doing that every single day until they are listed makes me question why I should risk all of my time. Like I always say and will say, money can be earned but time gone is a time gone and you can't get it back, my time is a lot more valuable than my money, hence I am not willing to spend it. I would rather just spend 100 bucks on this project and get out right now and just wait until listing, then spend all that much time.
