💥 #WorstAdviceEver Confessions
Ever get that "helpful" tip from a friend, parent, or random—only for it to blow up in your face? We're talking the classic bad advice traps: " Just push through the pain " when you needed rest, or " Follow your passion " with zero backup plan, leaving you broke and burned. Psych studies show we love giving advice (feels good!), but 70% flops 'cause it's one-size-fits-none—your mess ain't their mess.
SPILL YOURS IN DETAIL : At least 5 detailed sentences total covering the following:
· your situation/why you needed advice
· the specific advice given ( DON'T copy the examples )
· what happened after
ATTACHMENT: Use the same attachment I have for this activity; text overlay: your answer for “the specific advice given”
Rules & Reminders:
- Pink/Grey BADGES ( 5+ marketplace badges) only
- Be subscribed to
- COMMENT your answer below with tag #WorstAdviceEver , mention
- Real emotions only; "18+" if heavy.
- I read submissions one by one, and I understand those copied or rephrased entries. If this happens again, you will be blocked and will no longer be able to participate in any future activities
- Closes at 15 entries or when comments go public—whichever comes first.
- Failure to follow any of the given rules may be subject to disqualification or deduction of rewards!
VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS ACTIVITY:
BASE REWARD is 200,000 MLX per participant. Duplicate entries won’t be entertained.
***I set the comments to be visible only after 72 hours. This activity will officially close once the comments are made public. This approach is intended to be fair to those who participate early. I typically provide feedback on each entry, detailing any deductions. However, I've noticed that some participants submit their entries after the comments are visible, which allows them to benefit from insights that others may have missed. This policy aims to ensure a level playing field for all participants.***
1. DISQUALIFICATION
· Posting inside the group/Commenting the link to a post
· Entries out of topic
· NOT subscribed to
· COPIED or REPHRASED entries
· Entries from someone with more than 1 Tangled account
2. DEDUCTIONS
· 30k - Failure to include any or all of the ff: correct tag #WorsAdviceEver and mentions:
· 30k-100k - Failure to explain in complete thought
· 30k – Failure to include the required mentions
· 100k - Failure to follow the required correct attachment ( wrong spelling/not exact words = 50k deduction )
3. ALL deductions from rule-breakers will be split evenly among participants who followed every rule.
In cases where the deductions are significantly larger and the participants who followed the rules do not exceed half of the capped entries, a portion of the deduction will be allocated to standout entries. Meanwhile, those who complied with the rules will also receive their share.
