1st off, congrats to winners. Nice work. 2ndly, I noticed some weird stuff with meme voting. Could be my own perspective but happened a few months now. Normally this contest starts off right but ends weird and IDK if its just me or if others have noticed it. 1st Round) 8 users going (1v1) 4votes = 4 winners a 50% reduction. 4 winners move on, 4 eliminations. 2nd Round) 4 winners go head to head in a (1v1) 2votes = 2 winners and 2 losers = 50% reduction, 2 winners move on and 2 losers move on, no eliminations. 3rd Round) 2 winners from 2nd round go 1v1 for 1st and 2nd place, the 2 losers from 2nd round go 1v1 for 3rd = 25% reduction, 3 winners final results, 1 loser eliminated. This adds up, I can understand and follow this. However for the last two months I have seen a meme win popular vote in both 1st and 2nd rounds of voting only to be featured as going for 3rd place and not 1st or 2nd. I can't tell if this is because when I vote on Instagram it locks in the vote totals from when I clicked and does not do live updates when I review to story or if FastBuds is in error?? From my observations this month. I won 1st and 2nd round of votes with a big lead on 2nd round when I looked. 40% them 60% me. however I noticed my meme was going for 3rd and not 1st or 2nd, in 3 round of voting, so it does not add up to me, a disconnection somewhere, either on my end or theirs. It was a tight race for 3rd place, votes averaging out at 50% them and 50% me, Must have been a tight margin if the percentages did not move. Best to keep and eye on the voting system. I asked FastBuds about this and did not hear back yet, but wanted others to remain vigilant as contests should be held to the highest standards. Maybe I'll get lucky next month. ***UPDATE*** Fastbuds got back to me on Instagram and showed me the results, it is 100% a Instagram error and not displaying the correct voting total once my vote was cast. Funny little app. Cheers,
