[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] How to get people to actually plug in their probes?

I guess it's all the same problem around the world. Same here in Indonesia.

For me, everytime I handed over a probe, usually I ask them to fill
google form. just basic contacts and name.
Some are still offline after 2 year handoff. Try contact them, no response.
Some are they already switch jobs.

Sometimes if I beg them to send it back to me if they not gonna plug
it in, so I can distribute it elsewhere, they just ignore.
