# Awesome YouTubers voting system

## How to vote a YouTuber?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's as easy as clicking one of the two options that are located at the right-most part of the
|
|
|
|
|
YouTuber's name on the [list](../readme.md). You'll be redirected to the Awesome YouTubers
|
2021-02-28 20:57:05 -05:00
|
|
|
voting system website. You'll see the name of the YouTube channel and the vote you gave it.
|
|
|
|
|
This is anonymous and does not require authentication.

|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think the YouTuber is awesome, you can upvote the channel. If not, you can downvote the
|
|
|
|
|
channel. When you upvote a channel you sum 1 to its calification, whereas when you downvote it
|
2021-02-28 20:57:05 -05:00
|
|
|
you substract 1 from its calification. The score the YouTuber has appears next to the icons.
|

|
|
|
The value starts at 0 and goes above and below it according to the votes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How does it work?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each YouTuber has two options (upvote and downvote) on the YouTuber's name line. The options
|
|
|
|
|
each YouTuber has are linked to the Awesome YouTubers voting system website (see the source
|
2021-02-28 20:57:05 -05:00
|
|
|
in this folder) by the name of the YouTuber. When you click an option, the website opens with
|
|
|
|
|
the YouTuber's channel name and the vote you gave it (upvote = +1; downvote = -1). Your vote gets
|
|
|
|
|
automatically sent to a database when the scores are stored. They then get printed in the
|
|
|
|
|
[readme.md](../readme.md) file by referencing the image url.

## Motivation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite having already a [discussion about YouTubers](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/discussions/32)
|
|
|
|
|
(specifically the ones that according to the community should be removed from the list for x or y
|
2021-02-28 20:57:05 -05:00
|
|
|
reasons) this voting system makes it easier, anonymous, and fair to decide if a YouTuber should be
|
2021-02-27 20:41:13 -05:00
|
|
|
on this list. All the YouTubers added get revised by me (I check whether the information the
|
|
|
|
|
contributor provided matches and I watch some videos looking for well explanations, good audio and
|
|
|
|
|
video quality, coverage of the topics it explains, among others), but, of course, I'm only one person,
|
|
|
|
|
so I think being able to receive opinions from all users is a good way to filter and have truly
|
|
|
|
|
awesome content based on the community's opinion.
