I didn't see a post about this yet. I will delete this if someone shows that there is one already. I'm glad to see that they are finally doing something about how their system works to avoid abuse. This doesn't effect current open giveaways so we'll probably still see a few for a while but pretty soon no more having to follow and retweet multiple Twitter accounts as much.

From https://gleam.io/docs/updates#limits posted 15 July.

We want campaigns to be relevant and exciting for users to participate in, our aim has always been to help businesses to grow by running authentic campaigns that engage their audience.

Unfortunately we are seeing a lot of campaigns with many entry methods that are just abusing the Gleam platform for the purpose of gaining followers across multiple accounts, or requiring users to complete 50+ actions. We feel that this is unnatural and goes against the vision we have for Gleam in the long term and also is generally frowned upon by many of the API partners that we work with.

From today you will only able to add the same action type the following amount of times to a campaign:

2 on Free
5 on Pro
10 on Business

This means for example that you won't be able to add 5 Twitter Follows on the Free plan, or create 7 Custom actions on the Pro plan, or add 25 Twitch Follows on the Business plan.

it's for the people that create giveaways using the platform. The more referrals you want to utilize, the higher tier package you have to purchase.

Account types. If you are a larger indie dev/publisher, you can have paid accounts to access more features on the site.

I guess if they are willing to pay the fee to be on Gleam's "Business" plan then they can do that. At $149/mo or $1490/yr that is a privilege that they paid for. I don't think that many of these groups can afford to do that so it should at least put a large dent in all of the required steps for most of these giveaways that we would be concerned with.
