I am not witty enough to make a comedic comment here - so instead, I will try to make a slightly pretentious "intellectual" comment on the reasons why people bother to respond to these requests.
The main reason I see is the combination of attention and financial reward - all humans on some level seem to value attention, and financial reward is an obvious incentive too. They both plug into what is known as the human utility function.
Put simply, all intelligent beings (which presumably includes humans) seek to maximise utility - utility being defined in a slightly circular manner as "that which we seek to maximise". For humans this tends to translate to things we get pleasure from, or things which get social respect from peers for (and this includes things such as the warm fuzzy feeling you get from donating to charity - it's ultimately about signalling to peers).
Everyone responding to this post is hoping to get attention and financial reward - a double whammy of two categories of utility. Even if the post does not win the financial reward, there is the possibility of attention.
Feed me attention. Even criticism of the slight pretentious nature of this comment is still attention by the way.
1st Place
woohoo, thanks :)
You got attention.

2nd Place
wow, very generous
Thank you and congrats to the winners!!!
Congratulations on your continued success!
I have been following you for a couple weeks and think you will continue to gain followers and SP. You seem like an honorable person with real value to share.
I would just like to say that if you choose me to be the winner of the prize I dedicate it to either feeding 10 FREE meals to those in need, donating clothing to those in need or making an educational video on the topic of your choice to share freely with everyone to contribute to a more well educated world.
I dedicated my success over a decade ago to helping people and whatever success I have I share with others. So if you choose me then I will let you choose how that influence gets used!
Regardless, I am following you and wish you the best!
Steem On∞§∞

Nice, I just reached 60 followers and thought I was doing okay. But that's the exciting part of Steemit, isn't it? Logging in every day to see how many followers you gained, how your posts and curation did. And of course the chance to share your ideas and thoughts with thousands of people from around the world. Facebook is fun, but Steemit is more of a global platform.
push ups, musical big ups, and throwing down rap stuff. Ten twenties up, cheers, that's what's up!
Happy 200 :D
Onwards to 1000+...
Awsome job!! Keep it up, You must have some excellent posts. I will follow you with hopes of seeing great things. :) Congratz
Cheers for the kind words; hopefully I don't disappoint, haha.
I wouldn't know what to do with that amount of money, so I'll refrain from commenting.
Excuse swearing, but this makes me laugh everytime/
Congratulations! You're obviously doing something right here. You did great on the #22kill campaign. Just keep on doing cool stuff and you'll have a million followers in a year ;)

Who is they, and what the F$$$ are you talking about?..
The devs man, just pretend we're talking about music.
I want what you're taking.
Here's the short version bro, make a song about this. It would be awesome! Keyword: simulation theory
I know what you're saying, but here's the thing. How are you going to prove you're in the matrix from inside it?
Break out of it and then tell us about it. You'll have a much more compelling argument.
I think I enabled Gamenesia, damn ERIS Corp. Damn them to hell!
