In the digital era, online voting has gradually become an important means of various competitions and selections. From the WeChat Moments Likes Contest to large-scale online voting activities, online voting provides us with a convenient way to participate. We can't help but wonder: does this method of voting really reflect the true level of the contestants?
We should admit that online voting does provide a wider platform for contestants to showcase. Traditional competitions are often limited by the judges' vision and judging criteria, while online voting gives more people the opportunity to understand and evaluate the entries. From this perspective, online voting does bring more fairness and diversity to the competition.
However, the fairness of online voting has also been questioned. Because we often find that some contestants mobilize their relatives and friends to swipe tickets through social **, WeChat groups and other channels. In this case, a work with a high number of votes does not necessarily mean that it is of high quality, but rather because it has a wider network or is more prepared. What's worse is that some criminals even use technical means to carry out robot ticket swiping, which seriously undermines the fairness of the game.
On the other hand, money also plays an important role in online voting. In order to win high votes, some contestants do not hesitate to spend a lot of money on publicity and promotion. This phenomenon is especially evident in commercial competitions, where the number of votes is often the only measure of a contestant's strength and commitment. Not only does this distort the original intent of the game, but it also renders the result meaningless.
So, does online voting have anything to do with the competition itself?If heroes are judged purely by the number of votes, then online voting is far from the real purpose of the competition. The real competition should be judged on the merits, talent, and innovation of the contestants, not on the basis of connections, money, or publicity skills.
