#mad. anon#it's frustrating. because these sorts of polls are essentially scams - the accounts get days or months of engagement. trending hashtags. etc#while the reward for Louis is minimal: radio stations playing one song from his album after promising a whole show / one spin late at night#for this. they didn't even promise the winner song will be played. did they?#and you are right that streams sometimes go down when fans are distracted voting - in this case: 612580 to 556025 daily streams#[thank you @LouisWTNews]#though it is temporary. and fans coming together to vote can be good for morale. sometimes. to some extent. if nothing else#but the situation as a whole is ridiculous - 4M votes in one poll!?#for a remote chance at something that would be nice and good. sure. but no gamechanger either?#also. that Louis has a sizeable and devoted fanbase has been proven again and again - and the relevant parties who should know#at this point. know it well#the problem is that most of the time. it's used for others to benefit. not Louis#in the end. this was a chance to make Louis happy - and that will always be worth it - but it shouldn't be like this#and fans should be aware that everyone WILL take advantage of his fans' love for him - and our desperation to give his music exposure#we will frequently end up giving them what they want. what else can we do#but there is a line - I just saw 965TDY is doing Artist of the Summer again. they gained followers and massive engagement last year#and then played BTY. WMYB. and WMI when he won#never even played him in their rotation of nominees - but played Niall and Harry x2#and LTHQ... what can be said that hasn't been said before?#Louis deserves better :|#and we do what we can. with the best intentions#but I do hope every fan knows there's only so much we can do. and that Louis needs and deserves professional support#that he is not getting. at all
