## 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 10:07:32 -05:00
|
|
|
voting system website. You'll see the name of the YouTuber and the vote you gave him, as well
|
|
|
|
|
as a prompt to write the reason why you choose to upvote or downvote the YouTuber. If you don't
|
|
|
|
|
want to provide any, don't type anything, though it's recommended to have an
|
|
|
|
|
idea of your chose. 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 10:07:32 -05:00
|
|
|
you substract 1 from its calification. The vote 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
|
|
|
|
|
in this folder) by the name of the YouTuber. When you click, the website opens and you get
|
2021-02-28 10:07:32 -05:00
|
|
|
prompted to write why you decided the vote you are giving (if you don't want to tell, just
|
|
|
|
|
don't type anything). When you click on "Submit vote" your vote (upvote = +1 or downvote = -1)
|
|
|
|
|
and your opinion get sent to a database when the scores are stored. They then get printed in
|
|
|
|
|
the [readme.md](../readme.md) file for others to see.

## 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
|
|
|
|
|
reasons) this voting system makes it easier, anonymous, and fair to decide the place a YouTuber has
|
|
|
|
|
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.
