It seems like there are a lot of real life contests for hs/college students or whatever, so why doesn't codeforces just use all of these contests while they run in real life? I know that they do this occasionally (I think the screenshot even shows this) but I think that they might be able to use it even more. There are around $$$187$$$ countries out there, and surely the average country holds more than $$$2$$$ decent contests per year, so I think that codeforces could very easily have $$$1$$$ contest per day with this approach.

    That's because Codeforces has relatively high standards. Several rounds based on olympiads have been cancelled because the problem quality was too low.

    Yeah but they also need to be hard enough

    For example in Croatia I think COCI round be a good Div. 2 contest, but there isn't any contests with problems hard enough to be included in Div. 1 contest except for maybe IOI team selection problems
