it didn't have near the exposure as the others did

for that reason, i'm sure that Valve didn't just use the raw number of likes to determine the final 10 contestants. so here are some more numbers taken from YouTube, which is where the contest entries had to be submitted and where we can also see how many dislikes each video received. these numbers also aren't directly affected by the videos being added in-game today, since the in-game video player isn't using YouTube anymore. i also generated a random voting queue of entries on Steam and threw some more of those that didn't make the cut today in here for comparison (marked with *). so here they are, listed in order of upvote percentage:

so seriously, why didn't "Baited" make it, and why the fuck did "Tiny and IO Elemental Adventure" (where Io's name isn't even correct)??
