Steemit Won the Noonies - Social Network of the Year!

_{( A screencap from hackernoon.com showing us winning the "Noonies" )}

Good news everyone! Seems that our efforts to win hackernoon.com's "Noonies" Social Network of the Year Award have resulted in us completely winning the competition! This could be a pretty big boost in hype for our lovely blockchain, perhaps exposing potential new users and investors to our community.

Oddly enough though, the site seems to be accusing us of using fake voting somehow and has a big nasty red banner above the announcement.. I know personally I only voted once.. as with many others I know.. Does anyone have any info on these supposed "fake votes" they are claiming or..?

While the whole "fake voting" discredit smear kind of sucks in a way, I'm not sure any of us actually did any such things in order to deserve being accused of fake voting. I mean if you did, whatever, comment below about how you did it.. But overall regardless of the "fake voting" this is a pretty awesome accomplishment.

I'll perhaps contact them and inquire why or how they reckon fake voting was involved, see if I can clear this stuff up for us. Anyways ladies and lads, we won it. By more than 1000 votes to boot! Very nice!

Let's blame it on the Russians and call it NoonieGate.

Thanks for the post.
@evanstinger(60)· 2561d
Glad we made it! Tho I still dont get it why they still smear us with that nasty red box disclaimer. smh
@koalaslippy(49)· 2561d
lol damn those bot right internet is evolved this days so much we dont know what is real and what is fake in internet anymore
@torros(50)· 2562d
You are adults people but are doing some sort of nonsense. It is unlikely that the final result will respond to Steem or its price.
@grey580(62)· 2562d
No one would vote this the best social network. You know it's all lies. lol
@psychmot(33)· 2562d
que felicidad, eso es realmente genial. La comunidad crece cada día más.
@anaclark(64)· 2562d
I don't think that there were as many fake votes as implied.

Referencing facts about YouTube's vote count is irrelevant; YouTube does not have the community that Steemit does. In addition, Steemit users are exceptionally driven to create awareness. I'm not saying that YouTubers don't benefit from brand awareness but I believe that many of those persons view that platform as having created a strong brand identity already.

Also- many YouTubers are pissed at the changes in the revenue chain. Perhaps they've had enough of the big corporate bs?

I'm not saying that some votes aren't "fake", I just will not back down when I say that Steemit won with or without a few cookie deleters.

Fake votes? Cheating? Bwahahahahahha. Lossers' reason.😂😂 a lost is a lost, a win is a win, after the battle the Victor is the righteous.😂 We don't cheat anyway, its just that STEEMians are concern about steemit compare to the other social media that the users just use their platform.lol.

Congrats is a very little word for this.
@cloudspyder(60)· 2563d
I voted only once,if result seems to be oddly fake,then hackermoon doesn't have a good voting system. They're kind of fake too...
@cryply(25)· 2563d
@papilloncharity(83)· 2563d
@klue. Yay! We did it! I just feel 10,000 votes would have been so much better. Only 4020 of steemians voted. But for whatever it's worth, we did it and that's what matters! Blessings to all.
@debtfreein2(60)· 2563d

While the whole "fake voting" discredit smear kind of sucks in a way, I'm not sure any of us actually did any such things in order to deserve being accused of fake voting.

Told you not to use your gazillion alts.
@synrg(66)· 2564d
I saw someone comment under @theycallmedan post about this how the voting relies on a simple browser cookie mechanism, and he was going to go off on this 'exploit'

I'm sure some 'double voting' did occur... but what can you expect... make your system to be okay with than and? On a hacker site of all things...
@steemitqa(64)· 2564d
BOOOOOM SHAKALAKA! we WIN!

@edgarare1(68)· 2564d
Does matter because we know that each vote is very value and Steemit is on the top. Win is Win everywhere.

Don’t worry if you don’t receive the email as a response @klye..

Those accusations as fake votes sounds as a selfish person and it is pretty sure that Steemit is better than others ...!!!

Maybe they detected a VPN user that voted @klye but only 4,000 voted from steemm @klye
@dmitrydao(68)· 2564d
Although it is a good news, we should have hundreds of thousands of votes, since there are over 1 mln steem accounts. Your thoughts?

These sorts of polls are never scientific and are always subject to bots or people using VPN's or multiple devices. The warning banner seems a bit excessive when they just could have said, "this poll is unscientific and is therefore anecdotal".

Absolutley amazing. And clear cut.
@steevc(80)· 2564d
I am sure other networks had multiple votes from their users. Most of us have access to multiple devices. I am not sure how much it really means if Youtube and Facebook cannot even get 1000 votes. Still, we can celebrate our victory!
