I think it would be best to leave the judging to the staff. You know it is possible to buy views. And they do not cost that much.

Oh ok thanks
but you don't have to. you could submit a blank screen. or a 3d graphic. or a video of your dog eating a chess piece. you can submit ANY kind of video (or more than one) that you want - just get the MOST views :)
I don't think that's a good idea, someone could just submit a really funny video that has nothing to do with chess or one that already has a load of likes.
could we do this like every year?
Are animated entries discouraged?

not at all! nothing is discouraged - just keep it family-friendly!
PLEASE CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT METHOD OF DECIDING THE WINNER! THIS COULD END UP WITH SOMEONE COMPLETELY UNDESERVING WINNING. ANYONE COULD EASILY SET UP A MACRO SO ADD VIEWS + LIKES. PLEASE, HAVE A PANNEL OF JUDGES OR SOMETHING, THIS CONTEST WILL TURN DIRTY AND WILL ULTIMATELY BE THE PERSON WHO BOOSTED THEIR VIEWS THE MOST! ALSO, PEOPLE WILL DISLIKE OTHER PEOPLE'S VIDEOS IN ORDER TO RAISE THEIR CHANCES OF WINNING! PLEASE, HAVE IT BE A STAFF JUDGED EVENT! OR A PLAYER JUDGED EVENT. (DO THIS ONCE PER IP ADDRESS OR ELSE PEOPLE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE INCLINED TO START MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AND CHEAT!)
GREAT IDEA GUYS! YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO OFFER A PRIZE FOR THIS TYPE OF THING, LET THE TRUE FANS OF CHESS.COM HANDLE THIS AND TO PRODUCE THINGS SOLELY FOR IMPROVING THE PLAYERBASE. THIS WILL ULTIMATELY IMPROVE THE FINAL PRODUCT INTO SOMETHING AMAAAAAAZING!@#$!#$
I think the positivity is truly worthy of a grand applause.
Take my advice! Do not submit anything, you will only look foolish after seeing the by far winning entry by the one and only....George1st.
I hope this has helped.

In fact...! because we are only talking about a small amount of money....I will match the amount of 1,000 dollars in AUD. As long as I recieve 50% of the vote..making the grand prize..$2,000.

That's exactly how you get dislikes
I'm a little bit confused as to how the "positive" youtube views work. you said you multiply the views by the percent of likes. what is the percent of likes?

If offering more money to the winner is bad? Then should it be a contest where nobody wins anything? Is this a far better suggestion?
