This has just turned into a thumb war. People are automatically disliking everyone else's videos. We have to decide the winner differently.


Why are you guys counting Dislikes as demerits? The rules don't say anything about dislikes. Haters gonna hate, but it doesn't have to count. :)



DeepGreene has "Staff" next to his name. I think I'll go with what s/he says, thanks.

"On January 1, 2012 we will give $1,000 to the person with the highest number of “positive” YouTube views. Positive views are calculated as total views x the % of “likes”. Example: 1,000 views x 92% likes = 920 positive views."

do you understand how a percentage works? if 92% of people 'like' something, then 8% of them are 'dislikes'.

if i am wrong, please explain and then proceed to load me into a cannon and fire me into a pile of dung.

Timotheous
Most people dont like or dislike videos they just view them. You can ignore all the views, including the dislikes. Just focus on the likes. It is really pretty simple.

The wording of both posts makes the matter ambiguous, but I give the admins of the site credit enough to realize - if not right away, at least eventually - that counting dislikes as part of any percentage would open the floodgates for less-than-scrupulous people to attemp to cheat their way to a thousand bucks.

What - you WANT the dislikes to count? You really trust everyone to be fair, to not "game" the system either way?

I know how percentages work, but you obviously don't know what tact and manners are. You should have that looked into, buddy.

That’s right! We’re offering $1,000 USD for the best promotional video!

Here’s how it works:

1. You create an amazing/unforgettable/hilarious promotional video for Chess.com.

2. Upload it to YouTube and then post the link below!

On January 1, 2012 we will give $1,000 to the person with the highest number of “positive” YouTube views. Positive views are calculated as total views x the % of “likes”. Example: 1,000 views x 92% likes = 920 positive views.

That’s it. No holds barred. Create any video you want. Create as many videos as you want. Make it informational and explain the site. Or dance around in a hotdog suit. Or make a mini movie. Or sing a song. Doesn’t matter. Get your friends to watch it. Get it posted on Reddit or Digg. All you need to do is generate positive views of your video!

You can download our logo here.

You can follow the contest right here, in this forum thread!

Ok! You have till New Years – GO! Have fun and make it awesome!
