I love them! I think they're super, I really do, but sometimes I don't enter them even if I meet the qualifications.

There's often minor reasons for not wanting to enter (for example, I never do "pimp this contest in a journal" ones, because I like to keep this as spam-free as possible), but the majority of the time I just feel like I should do a good thing and let people who want it more have a better chance of winning.

Now, this isn't to say that I expect people to expect me to enter their contests, and that I feel the need to explain why I, personally, didn't enter. I just wanted to throw it out there in general in case someone might be wondering why their contest didn't get as many entries as they thought it might. It could very well just be that other people feel the same as me, and just want to give the best chance to the people who want it most.
