Do you rate your own gallery entries?

All voting systems are flawed because all you're doing is seeing a census of what is most popular. It doesn't matter how good your product is if most people can't relate to it and don't value it. It's the same with electing presidents, and the same reason why on most American competitive shows the African Americans tend to get voted off early - they are outnumbered. That doesn't mean they are worse in any way. Like on Americal Idol for instance, most of the best singers have been African Americans but they always get voted off earlier than they should. It's entirely to do with how much representation they have out in the world. If they are outnumbered by white folk who prefer to vote for white folk it doesn't matter how good they sing and they probably would have to sing twice as well as the rest to compensate. Votes are so skewed that way. They don't recognize reasonably or objectively which products have the most merit using a single unified value system, which would recognize where the real value lies, but instead it's a mishmash of all kinds of conflicting opinions and value systems, so you can't hope to get the representation or recognition that you might deserve. I also think most people who vote for gallery pictures (me included) vote based on how good the game looks graphically which has little to do with how it plays. All the top rated gallery images have the best looking graphics. Maybe all we agree to, vaguely, is which images look better than others, but that's about all it means.
