Yes, another one of those "Do you read giveaway descriptions?" posts, with a tiny twist. I figured I should share it with y'all. ^^

I made a public giveaway for Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. In the giveaway description, I put a link to an invite-only giveaway, where I asked people to please leave a comment. (Yes I was nice, I said please :3)

Both giveaways ran for 10 days. Public one end with 5381 entries, whereas the private one had 122 entries and 132 unique commenters.
Let's wildly assume that 40% of the people commented without joining, and 20% of the people clicked the link without either joining or commenting. Then an (gu)estimation of ~240 people who found and clicked the link in the public giveaway description.
....Which is less than 5% of people who read and clicked! Less than 5%! :O

Furthermore, for everyone who actually left a comment as per the second giveaway's request in the description, I added them to my whitelist, where they'll find a surprise Rocket League gib waiting for them :3
I assume this will be on many's wishlist. All they had to do was read and write.
Unexpected gifts are the best, right?

Here's to celebrate literacy!

Note: Stats above aren't meant to be accurate or conclusive. This is just a post for fun, don't take it too seriously ^^

TL;DR: Would be too ironic to put a tl;dr. So, sorry, go read the whole post :<

Just won a game from invite only GA to which link was given in a public GA. 897 entries in public, 112 in "hidden" - so yeah, people don't read descriptions apparently.

I usually only read the first description of a train. Because English is not my native language.
