Yes usually I’d keep my hopes up in such competitions but being able to visibly see the oppositions rankings it’s clear there’s little hope to be had. There’s more air down here at the bottom of vote mountain anyway haha

Couldn’t you have gone through the radiator inlet pipe then prepared to arm yourself with the saw?! Haha

It’s crazy. I’m not gonna point fingers but if someone’s vote count stays the same for hours on end and then goes up by 100 votes in an hour, something fishy is going on. People need to get their votes organically and honestly. Hope Anker is monitoring closely.

There are two risks a writer faces… making the joke so obvious that no one appreciates it, or so subtle that no one gets it. But, you still have to choose a direction. I felt that, with a joke like this, obvious was the way to go. And yet… Perhaps it’s the source material… I made the assumption that everyone had seen it (but it is a movie from 1987).

@AnkerOfficial Are you guys monitoring this contest closely and checking for bots or cheating? Please check it out. There’s at least a few in the top 10 that are rising in votes at higher rates than videos I’d say are better. Like 100 votes in an hour and then stop completely. I doubt they have over a 100 friends voting in an hour so I’d say bots or a ton of fake accounts they made. And some of these have considerably low views compared to their increasing vote count. Not fair to those videos that are actually really good and getting votes organically and honestly. Thanks for your time and putting on the competition!

@joshuad11 Yes! They need to hear this since otherwise it’ll keep going on. I’d say its at least a few of the top 10 since most of them came out of nowhere, gain 100+ votes, and pass everyone in like an hour, then stop getting votes for hours. They gotta be using bots to do fake votes. Also mine’s the pug video in the top 10 by the way and it gets 60-80 votes spread throughout the day, not in a period of one hour like some of these other videos; some of which are not good.

I have watched many videos and it is unfortunate that so many videos that were released recently are so far behind and don’t have a chance because in my honest opinion there are so many under 100 votes that would easily be in my top 10.
- All videos should have all been released on the same day and only allowed votes from members over 3 months.
Not to take anything away from some in the top 10 because some are great and I won’t mention which ones I like.
I commend you for limiting daily voting to 1 vote as that was a step in the right direction.
Many members have suggested in the past that you invite a number of senior members (Maybe 50) to do the voting. You would have to keep the postings anonymous .
Maybe you could provide them a freebie of some kind for helping as they would be kept from entering themselves. 
I did not enter the contest for 2000 reasons. I feared there would be a lot of inappropriate activity and I choose to not stress over that kind of thing. besides I would not have been able to enter in the first two days making my chances nill.
On the flip side you have provided a great contest and have had a huge amount of publicity generated from it. Kudos!

Read many valid comments and good suggestions while enjoying a pint and contemplating life. So here’s my two pence/cents;
In the end Anker giveaway’s are to push the brand to a wider audience and like most of the giveaways, especially one with a cash value, every man, woman and their dog will come running to win as a result, often with the majority just disappearing into the abyss after winning or until the next one is advertised. While this is in a way getting the brand out there it often comes at the expense of either not increasing the community with valid members and/or incurs the displeasure of the core community members. $20,000 however is most likely pretty cheap for a advertising campaign even if the top 10 individuals do not come back or buy future products, so I can see the logic.
Out of the top 10 (so far) I would say at least half are generating from a combination of their YouTube subscribers and/or friends, social media followers (Facebook etc)…the other half not a clue, unless they have one hell of a Facebook/Twitter following or a very, very, large family base going to bat for them 
It’s good that voting has been restricted to once a day (which could make it even crazier if it hadn’t) but as with any competition your not gonna get a perfect method of increasing your brands awareness, while giving your core fan base a better than average shot of winning the goodies (comments from some months old but non-posting members are entertaining though). Limiting future ‘major’ giveaways to members who have reached a certain base level (showing they participate) would be one method but would have a knock on effect to drawing in new members or pushing the brand further…
I certainly believe @AnkerOfficial will be vetting the top ten to ensure that voting bulk or single is not coming from the same IP address, within certain time periods, the same newly created accounts and the like…
Well that was a bit of a ramble…time for another pint

I was watching other peoples video entries, there fun watch them especially all the new ones. New videos everyday even though I feel like the vote for top rank are too high for any of these new video to win, they still had fun making and I enjoy watching them I encouraged you guys to look at these new entries . A creative one where she’s trying to call the radio station to win money and of course she’s the caller that get picked to speak like on the radio and then the phone dies. well though idea love the video. She only has 2 votes and is #103 in ranking. Here’s the video: https://goo.gl/Cx6H6E

Yep I agree. I’ve felt like this since I noticed some entries shooting up enormously. 20k is probably a drop in the ocean for a big company like anker so I’m hoping they may do another one like this in future and maybe make rules a bit more strict or a more even playing field where all entries have a good chance. I’ve certainly no chance in this one and in fairness mines not amazing but was my first try at video and done quickly to get it up! So fingers crossed for another in the near future!
