The key thing is that when you see the same people there all the time and you know its a flawed system you then feel compelled to challenge it.The reason is simple,most people inherently don't want to see unfair treatment of others regardless of how it affects them...almost no one I know really cares about getting into the Hot 20 but they see so many great artists that never gain recognition there and voice their objections because more people deserve recognition.

To assume that those who say rosity needs to change this are jealous or envious because they can't get in is insulting because anyone can ask up to 15 people to vote for them to get into the Hot 20.Thats the flaw...you can ask people to vote for you and get in or simply benefit by default because you're in the Hot 20 and your supporters regularly vote for you even when they might find other images more deserving.

Maybe its a habit,maybe these people just happen to have a loyal core group that votes on every image they post...doesn't mean the system can't be improved or even totally redone.

Take for instance the idea of limiting each artist to only one image during any period...whats wrong with that???Would guarantee that there will actually be 20 different artists in the Hot 20 rather than 5 right???If you agree with that then you agree the system needs changed.If you have 20 different artists in the Hot 20 then you increase the chance that different artists will make it in because people voting for the "usual" suspects won't know which image put out in a given time to vote for.

Combine that with a change allowing you to cast only one vote per image so you can't vote for the same image twice.Now it gets interesting because if you vote for another of that artists images then you have basically wasted a vote somewhere...if you vote for the same artists images and they post every day~then only one out of seven of your votes would count over a weeks time.Thus if you want your vote to count,then you'll vote for a different artist every day...if not,then at least your vote won't help that artist get more than one image in the Hot 20 right???

Can't vote for the same image more than once and only one of that artists images you vote for over the week will get into the Hot 20...at least its a start if rosity feels it needs the Hot 20 and anyone complaining really can't say its unfair because the system would force these people to vote for more artists or waste their votes since only one out of seven would count if they keep voting for the same artist each time they put out a new post.

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
