It clearly appears that Scientific Tuesdays is cheating on the Charity Water vote.

They have a fraction of the fans that Film Riot has and yet any time Film Riot appears to take the lead in the voting ST miraculously and suddenly gets hundreds or thousands of votes that put them back on top.

ST's video is dull and uninspired compared to Film Riot's, it's just a fact, and yet votes appear by the bucket load whenever they need them. They have gotten far more votes than they have fans. It simply doesn't make sense. I don't buy it and I think Revision3 should investigate. This is inappropriate conduct by a Revision3 show!

Latest YouTube episodes figures for the shows.

Scientific Tuesday: 156,582 views
Film Riot: 24,104 views

While I think Film Riot is the better show - you seem to be making stats up.

Edit: also spam posting on various forums isn't cool.

Your stat for Film Riot views is for their newest Christmas episode ONLY.
The truth is that Film Riot has gotten 6,375,665 views and their Triune Films website which also hosts their episodes has gotten 444,186 views.
That's a total of 6,819,851 views!
Film Riot has 21,135 FaceBook fans.
Film Riot has 1,144 FaceBook likes on Revision3.com.

Scientific Tuesdays has 30 FaceBook likes on Revision3.com.

It's impossible to tell how many YouTube views ST has because Dylan Hart posts them under his "HouseholdHacker" account, along with other shows like, "How to Cheat on Any Test." .... Hmmmm.... "Hacker" and Cheating..... schocker. :(

And there is nothing "Spam" about my post. They seem to be cheating and you seem to be defending it... with bogus numbers.

Come back when you have real numbers, not conjecture.
Posting the same post in multiple threads is spam.
Creating an account to do that just reinforces the act of spamming.

There is no conspiracy.

Let's call 9th December (the date Jonny Cobra was added to Film Riot's YouTube page) as the starting point for comparison - and as before, these are only YouTube figures:

Film Riot: 77,179 views
Scientific Tuesdays: 777,734 views

That is a lot more views on one platform alone (although it could be that ST's viewers are only big on YouTube) for Scientific Tuesdays than Film Riot. So it's hardly surprising they have managed to convert that huge audience into votes compared to Film Riot.

I'm a huge fan of Ryan + Film Riot as a whole and agree their film was much more engaging and I couldn't get into ST as a show - but you can't just accuse someone else of cheating with ridiculous sweeping statements... especially when the underling cause is not Ford but Charity Water. If your logic held up Scam School would be in the lead. Put away the tin hat, my friend, and vote for who YOU want.

PS: My spam comment was regarding the two identical additional posts you added to Scientific Tuesday's and Film Riot's forum areas that have since been removed.


Edit: didn't see tokenuser's reponse - answers it pretty neatly.

Wow.... it's good to see the forum police are alive and well.
I have long been a Film Riot and Revision3 fan. Seeing the cheating on this "Charity" vote angers me, so yes, I created an account to respond. I posted here and at both shows' sites for maximum exposure. That's how things get done. I have run my own little "experiments" to draw Scientific Tuesdays' "voters" into responding.... and they have... only when "provoked." And those of you who are involved know exactly what I'm talking about.

I have all the proof I need.

Let's just call it what it is.... Cheating for Charity.

Enjoy your free trip to Spain.

Thank you to the Film Riot guys for having more class.
