"I Don’t Think You Can Trick The People Meter"

“The jury is still out, but all these tips and tricks scare me a little bit. Instead of manipulating the listeners into listening, but annoying them at the same time, isn’t it better to consistently entertain, so they’ll come back without trickery? Just a thought.” -- Dave Ryan, in August Morning Mouth

The silly tricks we did for diary keepers didn't work. Dave's right, build a good product and the listeners will come.

Of course he's correct -- but many of us have made a career out of trying to "game" the system.

Which might explain why some listeners work so hard to 'game' us with each contest.
