Huh?!! I gotta check this out! :astonished:

Edit: how did they do that?! Close to the finish, this one was originally at number one for some reason then I noticed was in 10-20 at the end I think. How odd.

Yea that’s what I thought too! He definitely fell behind by a few thousand before it ended. Not sure how it’s in first now but it’s weird. I’ll just wait till they announce the real winners since it’s not accurate now.

I just saw their YouTube page where they as good as admit to bot use in the comments section. They seem to think top 20 have used bots.

Oh yea I forgot I read that there too! From following the contest closely, I think a lot of videos in the top 30 did use bots but that’s up to Anker to properly determine.

I guess there could be many used bot voting. It’s a shame some contestants decided to play real dirty.

I think for some who did use bots it was just a way for them to mess with the contest and enjoyed it while others did it and thought maybe Anker wouldn’t enforce the rules.

They could increase security by using a captcha (the thing where you prove you’re a human not a robot). The problem with making stronger voting regulations to prevent it is that it’ll keep your friends/family/followers from voting for you since it’s too difficult. It might not gain as much traction, and as a result Anker would get less exposure and advertisement. Hopefully they’re other options too that can secure the future contests while still making it easy to vote.

Traditional captcha could be fine or even google recaptcha. It would be a good improvement

@AnkerOfficial when are we going to receive our prize packs containing Anker products? And what all will be in those prize packs besides the premium charger and charging cable mentioned? I sent an email about 2 weeks ago and never received a reply. :blush:

#195

Based on normal posting times, I would guess 2-3 weeks after competition end.
