The system, if people vote fair, will always reward the best songs. The trouble is that humans will do anything they can to cheat anything. I offered some new ideas being discussed that if adopted, will further protect people from fraudulent (i.e. intentionally not picking the best songs) voting from working. These folks already do more to TRY and keep it honest.. but you have to stay ahead of the scammers and the idiots. It's a sad reality. But if you have fans who like your work, they should vote (and vote honestly) and it will likely help you out because any system of any type will obviously track people's preferences and if your fans are voting for you, you'll do better. The hope is that the other great songs ALSO do better.

I think if there were 10,000,000 voters in every channel.. then the fan thing would have little impact. But the site is new and growing and so I don't think it hurts to get fans involved. Hopefully they'll ALSO find other cool music they like and become fans of other artists. That's really the end point of all this. Finding great new music. I don't love ALL the songs in the top 20 or even agree with who made it, but I always find new songs I really like when I vote from artists I'd never heard of. Those are GREAT people for you all to network with and by voting, you'll hear them.

So, get out the vote.. for many good reasons.
