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
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

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

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

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)

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,
