I’ll tell you how they chose the winners, they said: we have to choose apps mostly from the USA, but if they are nonsense, an app from Germany (this nonsense app that won flutter and most useful…), another from Japan, etc. We must never look at an app that comes from Asia (Countries of South), Africa, Arab or South America (even if it is the best of the best). So the first criterion is to filter by country, then we try to select from this nonsense, something even if we have to repeat the same apps. Then we put what we want for the people’s choice app.
I’ve never seen these apps that won during voting to even think about voting or not. That’s why there’s no transparency in the votes. I’m sure the real people’s choice is from another country, but because they know from the start that they have no control over it, they made this mediocre voting system where you can’t see anything.
A competition of shame, stigmatization, bias of kids… the shame of Google, simply. Now 3 days have passed, no one is really interested in watching these videos of the winning apps or discovering what it’s about except maybe the first one because it appears a lot on Google’s pages (but only few people “always the same people category” say great work etc who can also say great work about any app…).
There’s no real enthusiasm as if these apps are something original, impactful, useful… or “changing the world”: Changing the world, really? are they joking: they can’t even change someone’s mind to convince them to continue watching the video about these apps… …it’s nonsense and if Google ventures to invest in these crappy apps, no one will use them like many other products… competition and winners of shame !
