Right, but then there are also industry awards like the crypto ones which are literally just pay to win. I trust awards like I trust video game analytics... if the biggest argument they got (in video games) is that you can "walk XXXXX miles" and "XXXXX hours of dialogue" and "XXXXXXX planets you can land on" I immediately assume the game will suck. Because if analytics is what gets people excited about it, anyone can manipulate a turd with good analytics. Same with awards. I can make a crypto tomorrow with an award for "most innovative in X space" within a day. I can even get a celebrity tell everyone how it changed their lives. This is why advertising sucks, and awards are advertising. Its all about trying to pretend like anything you say has merit.
