Agreed that sounds like bullshit, but assuming they did in fact plan to win the vote in a way which looks exactly like cheating but which turns out to be unorthodox but legitimate, we've got an early contender for marketing gambit of the year.
- ericd 15y agoHeh yeah, I would be pretty impressed if it was legit. The main problem would be getting a large number of people to remember and agree to jump through those hoops instead of just confirming it when they got it. Pretty interesting.
- polemic 15y agoSeems to me you'd lose too many people to "Just Too Hard" syndrome for the strategy to be worth using too.
- wpietri 15y agoYeah, if they don't win a Webby, they still might win a Douchey.
- vacri 15y agoNot just marketing gambit, but mind control as well - people who do this kind of voting aren't going to go for the additional hurdle of redirecting their stuff... yet AL seems to have forced a ton of them to do just that. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
