Why do you ask for a reason when I skip a collab?

Part of: Questions others asked too

Because it's the only moment you tell us of your own accord.

Someone who doesn't apply says nothing. Then we don't know whether the deadline was too tight, the brand did nothing for you, or the assignment looked too heavy. That difference decides what we put in front of you next time: a roomier timeline, a different kind of brand, a lighter assignment. Without your reason we're guessing.

The reason only comes to us, never to the brand. The free text field is optional — and it's usually where the most interesting part sits.
