Sided isn't that fun anymore with all the Cheating on votes.

Maybe it shows that you haven’t been on here long. People figured out pretty quickly that they can vote for themselves. Also, before Bernard, there were many legends that won every week. If it’s not fun, maybe find something else to do.

I am new to this just joined about a week ago or so. So I don't really know how to use this all that well yet. But from seeing the same thing said last week, I was bored one night and went searching around figuring out how to navigate through this and yes I do see what you are talking about. It would be nice if everyone played fair.

Steve, I agree there has been some gaming of the system. As for me not playing , I am here watching and lurking, voting and sniping. We are super busy trying to get the app launched, and there are other assets to the company that require time as well, plus in my role I am fundraising full time. But I am here brother!

I don’t have a fake account nor am I cheating.  But this will be my last week chasing Bernard, it’s too much to be constantly checking, creating, and commenting. Getting hearts is only one component but it’s not the most important one.

Anthony Avila

It’s all fun for me I don’t mind if I lose or win..

Bernard Thompson

I may be the minority but I’m here more for the content and perspectives... help sided beta test. Still fun for me!

Have kinda noticed and do wonder abut the likes, but figure it will get adjusted eventually or they'll ge tired of putting that much effort in As far as the guys I just assume there busy.

I'm not playing either side on this one, rather I want to emphasize that we all come to Sided for different reasons. For myself, it's to engage others when I have the time and mental bandwidth in debates and conversations on various topics in respectful ways. Some users are really into climbing the leaderboard and getting the gift cards. Others don't really care about the points system or if people like their comments or postings. There is no shame in however you like to engage Sided. It's important to remember that Sided was designed to help "celebrities, on-air personalities, and entertainment brands regain control of their audience by providing their followers with a moderated, “gamified"​ social experience that rewards listeners for digitally engaging with program related questions and activities." This social experiment is still unfolding, so don't get discouraged and blame others if you are not into their contributions and experimentations. If you want a different outcome on Sided, create one. Bernard and Anthony didn't create Sided, they're merely playing the game that was set up for them.

It's looking more fishy each day.  I'm sweating to just get into the top 10.  I just don't see how every comment by Bernard has 8 likes.  I can't seem to get a debate to go fire no matter how engaged I try to be.  Still fun as long as I ignore the top.

Didn’t just do the thing you were angry about?

lol your grammar is as terrible as your fake account

I couldn't agree more Christian, nice post!

It balances out. I always heart other comments.

I like the idea on not being able to vote for yourself

It’s just fun to get my point across. If you are a champ, you are deserved no matter what people say.

It's all good Anthony, as I told Bernard a few weeks back when people were saying the same things, don't let them break your stride man. Sided is better because of your contributions.

Don’t even listen to all the hate. I used to get it all the time also.. people don’t understand all this is for fun..

My debates never go fire! That’s what I shoot for. Bernard is the king. Let him play how he wants.

That’s what I said in my post, hearts are not the most important thing, and most of the time I don’t even have the most.

First off I could careless what I get. And for you too Bring up my name is great..

Thank you for pointing that out. As a way of comparison I think you’ll clearly see that Bernard always the same and oftentimes way more likes than I ever get.

It would be cool to see who actually votes on our debates, not just the people that comment.
