Couldn't they just have their "friends" spend 5 minutes clicking refresh? And isn't the idea to get people to look at the image (and to get it to rate better for the hot20) because the image is good, rather than the artist has a rep for doing good stuff? I can see advantages with the view count idea, but I can also see some (to me) potential disadvantages. Basically I don't know if its any better than whats here now.
