That would make sense from a youtube point of view. What is the point in having a competition if one of the competitors absolutely blitzes the field. How humiliating for the other guys and sort of makes the competition a waste. I can see how youtube benefit from having a close result. I don't see how Jenny could have botted though. | ||

Certainly more likely than the Jennifer ESL botting herself, and also not winning. | ||

The problem is that if this is true then it is also fraudulent. They are deliberately misrepresenting the results to gain more clicks on their site. Not only does this increase the eposure of the tournament but also advertising revenue. That could be construed as fraud. | ||

I can see how youtube benefit from having a close result. I don't see how Jenny could have botted though. I was also thinking the same thing while analyzing the similarity of the voting influxes; its very probable youtube actually rigged the competition to make it a closer race. Taking a quick glance of the graphs shows the pattern to be very odd to say the least. | ||

Just to edit in, checking their youtube channels: JenniferESL Channel Views: 3,372,397 Total Upload Views: 24,443,381 Subscribers: 70,068 ThePortraitArt Channel Views: 1,061,695 Total Upload Views: 10,338,029 Subscribers: 66,142 Similar number of subscribers, but many more channel views and total upload views for Jennifer. Granted she apparently doesn't have a community backing her like TL / Reddit for Glider, but some of the people saying that there's no way she could get that many votes just seem to not understand the fact that there's like a billion people in the world learning English and that her channel might have broader appeal than Glider's art. Of course, I think Glider is way more awesome, voted for him, and am very happy he won :-p I just get tired of reading all this conspiracy theory type bullshit when there doesn't seem to be any real evidence. Again, if there's something in the graphs, please explain it to me, because I don't really see it. The points where her incoming votes drop to 0 for brief periods seems a little weird, but that's about it. | ||
