I think 1-2 contests each month is sufficient for 99% people.

Upvote who agrees

        if your first comment has been upvoted, it doesn't mean that your second comment about the same topic will give you contributions as well so better not to beg for it...

Instead of complaining, we should really be thankful that we even have 1 contest per month. I've tried (and failed) to think of problems before, and I've figured out that either my IQ is too low, or the problemsetters are in contact with otherworldly entities that can "come up with" tricks that would never occur to humans. This is backed up by the fact that the only half-decent problem I ever "created" happened when I was dreaming.

We should really be grateful for even 1 contest per month, because the problemsetters are either high IQ, or they are in contact with otherworldly entities. In both cases, you can very easily see how those sort of people would much rather do more fulfilling things than sit around creating or receiving ideas for problems.

    you may haven't seen many problems. most of the problems which are in the contest aren't made by the writers, they are famous theory problems but just told in the shape of a short story and has test cases. of course some of them are really good and interesting but not all of them. for example 74TrAkToR makes boolshit contest which are only based on theory and nothing interesting.

      I have seen many problems. You can even check my account. The thing about it is that each problem brings something unique. Sure, you might be able to solve them, but can you actually THINK of that? Where do you even start there? These people might be geniuses who can just think of weird things like that. Their minds might even have access to other places that most people just can't access.

      If you still say the same thing, then I invite you to try to create a good problem.

Be greateful for using a service for free. Instead of crying about why there's less and less contests, why don't donate your money to make it happen LMAO.
