<span class="link_user">@00110001001001111O</span>, likes and views still matter. Firstly you have combined ratings, your amount of diaries and likes are key points in calculating it. Secondly, DOTM is all based on that, more likes and views, more ( or i should name : almost guaranteed) chances to win. I remember times when questions were coming in bulk, i thought GD is doing it with fake accounts, not some user. I am still here, so i too think, that this page still has chances, i hope i am right ...

<span class="link_user">@AsNoriu</span>, ah, when that asshole scaled up he didn&#039;t account for all the extra humidity... i heard. Looked fine, but didn&#039;t know what was happening ~5 weeks into flower after lights went out, allegedly. yeah, you hear about the upcoming contests and get a leg up at times.. but wasn&#039;t worth the lag to be in those huge channels. Plus all the brand reps are in there creeping on people and lurking in the background unseen.

<span class="link_user">@AsNoriu</span>, the number of questions magically ramped up if they were answered.. i&#039;m 80% sure they manufactured a good chunk of them in 2020, at least. Then the script broke and they didn&#039;t have the expertise to fix it. plus, i doubt that was a unique user. Probably some power-user with 20 accounts. The account would be inactive for a while, then all of a sudden get thousands of &#039;likes&#039; in a short period of time. He wasn&#039;t the only one and that in itself is not an entirely bad thing... maybe a bit insecure, but not bad behaviour... each to their own onthat superficial nonsense. I&#039;m glad the like count no longer controls some silly account label. The people with at the top that used to have &#039;script wars&#039; was a joke. Unnatural growth outs the cheaters. At least when it was &#039;cartel-style&#039; it took several people to boost each others numbers, lol. If you want to partake in it, this is a giant scam from top to bottom... advertisers taking advantage of users, users taking advantage of advertisers etc etc... gaming the system, lying to each other, defrauding each other, lol... telling people something is &#039;awesome&#039; just because you got it for free, lol.... zero integrity with a motivational structure to match. If you avoid that shit, it&#039;s not so bad of a place.

<span class="link_user">@00110001001001111O</span>, dont forget, i was biggest fan of Nobodiesbuds, despite him growing wpm, i still put likes under 99% of his grow records ;))) Bloombuster is an Ukrainian grower, think the only cheat during those wild days, was asking people to post questions and get selected. There were huge chats, with hundreds or thousands of users, someone even tried to add me to same shit yesterday. I quit, too many idiots, but i learn a lot from people during those days, including from you ;)))

<span class="link_user">@00110001001001111O</span>, Bloomie holds the record with 240+ answers to win event. There was no script cheating, but there was some manipulation. Years ago, diary attached to questions had way higher exposure, so people went for clout, likes, views, messages and so on. I would say Covid was first resurrection after decline, but community was way better and friendly before it, you could really learn new things, sponsors were giving away big time, now only seeds or pricey juice is on the market ...

<span class="link_user">@AsNoriu</span>, Appreciate it! All the best to you as well! :pray:

<span class="link_user">@Qutro</span>, hope You will win ! All the Best !

<span class="link_user">@00110001001001111O</span>, their was only one other time someone won with a low count like this. and it was because the contest was broken. GMSlave had it. now its a tie for the lowest total score. and if the person in first looses any points or gets kicked it will be an all time record tie of 1 solution for all parties involved. crazy. I stopped keeping track of the numbers as they no longer show them after contest end. kinda sad. that data set was good and showed how fast the site was dying. They made a onsious choice to stop it.
