I may visit a contest thread right when it is posted but typically once I realize it is such a thread I will never return to it.

Hell there are already contest rules in place that are getting broken and nobody gets kicked for it so who cares who wins the damn things anymore. Just let the companies who want to waste the money to keep a thread title (better be descriptive thread title or it is worthless) on the front page.
