Now I have bad news for the contest. I think that will kill all the fun and chase away a lot of current participants.

I have witnessed how an enormous voting power is ruining all of the efforts of all participants in the contest.

Contest #10 for Daria summoner. I am showing how Bitandi is winning a card. First he already took a summoner in Contest #7 by being very late accepted to participate, and then nobody realized it so nobody upvoted him. And now with under 24h before post payout time, he suddenly became with the least upvotes, by the votes of Monsterbuster who upvoted all the comments around Bitdandi (no upvote form Monsterbuster). Next, you need to see this, an 18.17% upvote from Dustbunny on Fabiyamada's comment (that is equal of full strength of Fabiyamada's voting power), tha came immediately after my call for Fabiyamada. In the end, voting power of Bitdandi is many times larger than the sum of voting power of all participants, is not upvoting other comments directly, while powerful enough to alone win every contest.

Namely voting power on Hive is so much disproportional that all it takes is one long time active Hive account is taking all cards without any chance for your contest to be a contest.

Cheers!
