Repeat after me.....

We see good art, we tip it.

We dont ask to see good art.

We put in the effort, explore art channels and give artists the engagement other than the reward.

We dont ask artists to give us engagement in order for them to get tipped.

ARTISTS HAVE BEEN USED ENOUGH.

I do participate in many contests and also host them... As an artist I see good in both sides... feels like a win win for me. It might be easier to have good engage with a large following and giant amounts of allowance but smaller accounts need to find a way to grow and dont see the bad side of it.

Im a 3d artist and extreme sports lover. 

Love creating enviroments and storytelling images

I do see your point and my fast growth is mainly from contests... my casts dont get more than 20-30 likes whilst my contests get to 100... 

growing slowly here is not an option...  Im a freelancer and cant be here 24/7, so need shortcuts that dont feel evil, like contests

The way to grow is by sharing good content, just like you always do.

Your grew a lot in a short period of time, dont rush.

If everyone does contests, artists will constantly chase tips, see only contests in their feeds and never art

If we all start doing contests what will happen..? 

Think about it.
