@melitzamusic "To our surprise, we saw how publications won awards for votes that did not correspond to the reactions and views of their videos, basically, they have votes from people who don’t even take the time to watch their videos."
Please research what a curation trail is in detail. Upvotes on a post through curation and curation trails for an entry does not reflect actual users upvoting the entry as some users are signed up for a curation trail which means if I create a curation trail, and 10 people join it, whatever and whoever I upvote, those 10 accounts from those users also upvote what I upvote, everytime, and some whale accounts have hundreds of people on their curation trail and that does not translate to the actual support or views of a Vibes Entry posted here on the Blockchain. Hence, why the support and votes shown on a Post isn't reflected through the support and votes from the Community voting process before we announce the winners.
@verbal-d, I am sorry that you got confused and did not understand what I mean, I am not referring to upvotes, I am referring to votes in the poll that have nothing to do with the interactions of the publications in hive. For example: What's the use of having 70 votes in a poll when that same publication has 40 views in hive, and the other 30 views where are they? they don't see the video? they don't see the videos of others? the public votes are just inflated numbers that don't interact with the vibes community? it's not the first time it happens, I'm sure you have seen this pattern happen more than once.
It's a good question, thanks for the explanation, votes aren't solely based on the views of only the Hive Post, because entries are being crossed posted on the Web2 platforms, and some votes are coming in from newly created Hive accounts from the onboarding process and they saw the entry on tiktok, youtube, X twitter, then they make the required Hive account and vote for the entry on Hive for the Community Voting poll, but they didn't view the Hive Post that had also the video or link there because they viewed it somewhere else. And we are working behind the scenes to make the competition better, more fair, reduce any possible ways for manipulation and so forth. The winners who have won so far up until now, have been definitely deserving and worthy, and the judging process will only get better with more effort and care.
