Davos Week - Day 1: Doctor Noise

[ZCRnotVCR]

Did anyone else click on thins thinking it said Davros week? no? ok.

[myalteredself]

Thank you for these daily videos!!!

Can u only vote 4 one person?

[UnculturedProject]

Only one person can go, but you can vote up or down on any finalist.

[iovialis]

But all causes (even those from non-finalists) are shown at the sessions of the WEF. It is not important to go there, if your pitch explains in clear words, what you'd like to tell. Nothing is lost, if an applicant is not being present - you just have to believe in your cause.

[UnculturedProject]

I'm sorry iovialis, that's not how it works. There is a special panel that is going to be held and the winner will be able to set the agenda at that panel. It's just that simple.

World leaders can watch YouTube videos anywhere - not just at some WEF booth with a computer. This is important and it's the single biggest issue of any of the other finalists.

[iovialis]

Of course, there is a benefit to win, but nothing is lost, if you are not. I am talking about the Olympic spirit: To be present is everything. And in contrast that world leaders can watch videos anywhere, those of this competition are shown to them. This is a win-win-situation for all applicants, even if only one can go to Davos. I am talking about nothing else...

[UnculturedProject]

You're still strongly disagree with you iovialis.

Basically, none of the other candidates represent the YouTube community. They have come to push their agenda on YouTube instead of actually being a representative of the community.

Worthy causes - all needing attention. But something is indeed lost. It's not all win/win.

[iovialis]

The invited person does not represent the YouTube community, but his/her pitch. That's the idea of the contest. If somebody would be representing the YouTube community, this member would tell about all other causes, which are present at YouTube. If you'd like to be this person, you'll get my vote - otherwise, you represent your cause and nothing else, as mostly all of the finalists. Tell me, why you deserve more to go Davos than the others? Because of UP or because you feel as member of YouTube?

[UnculturedProject]

Again, iovialis, go to the WEF's *offiicial* blog and read their *own* blog post on this contest. They clearly and explicitly state that the YouTube community picks the winner and the winner will represent YouTube.

That's the WEF's own words. Do I have your vote now?

[iovialis]

I told you, that I'll vote for you, if you're going to represent the community. At the moment I don't know, what you will represent - your Uncultured Project (as sole part of the community) or the whole community.

In my own video I proposed a suggestion scheme to collect and manage ideas, how to make the world to a better place. YouTube could be (is) such a "collector" - now these ideas must be heard (not a sole one as an example). This is what I expect as part of the community.

[theabnormal1]

have you been watching his videos? make sure you check out

"An Open Letter to the YouTube Community"

Because that's his entire point, is that the other finalists might not necessarily represent or be an active part of the youtube community and that they'd probably only talk about their cause. whereas shawn won't just ramble about his cause, he could accurately convey what the youtube community is capable of and what they care about.

[UnculturedProject]

I think theabnormal1's reply to you says it best. I'm not fully qualified to talk about the ENTIRETY of all that is happening in the YouTube community. But, unlike ANY of the other candidates, at least I can represent the YouTube community is some capacity.

I, unlike any of the other candidates, at least have a sense and understanding of what were are doing to try and make the world a better place. Do the other candidates even know about ChartJackers? Project for Awesome? Probably not.

[UnculturedProject]

I don't disagree that the folks at Davos need to hear multiple POVs. But they are only allowing one. So all the more reason for it to be a representative of the YouTube community.

[MasterAsra]

I voted.

[mohopgold]

I voted! UP FTW!

[punkslilncs]

Thanks for the reminder.. I am kicking my self that I didn't know about this sooner. I only learned about it yesterday :(

[Iamthemaster2]

yay

[Tennath]

Shawn, you really are a representation of what good the Internet can do. I hope you are able to have the opportunity to represent such a vibrant group of people passionate about a cause. I have voted and will continue voting for you. More importantly, I support you, even more than a vote.

Bill, it's always great to see your face. Good job on helping out!

[genericfirstname]

I appreciate the reminder to vote again!

[itiselizabeth]

Davos pwns Davros.

And although I did see "davros" in the first place this is much much better. I'm off to vote.

[0justBETHANY]

[sivartis]

[CleverestWitch2188]

Seeing Bill was a nice surprise. =]

Been making sure I've been voting once a day... from multiple google accounts. hehe. Best of luck, Shawn. I'm rooting for you.

[UnculturedProject]

I recently learned it's not done by google account - it's done by computer. You could vote at school and maybe your family could vote at home?

[UnculturedProject]

Although, truth be told, I think it's also fine if you vote in both locations. I don't think the rules forbid it :P

[REMsleeper428]

GAH! vlogbrothers and other channels need to promote you, Shawn! I'm still voting every day!

[BarryAldridge]

Hello Bill nice to see you on here.

I am voting Shawn.

[outofthedark]

Bill, are you reading off a teleprompter?

What Shawn is doing with the Uncultured Project and what we are all doing with the Uncultured Project & other projects YouTube wide is absolutely amazing.

The fact that the big wigs out there don't know about us as a community is silly. We always assume that we are known about as a community because everyone knows about YouTube, but not everyone who watches YouTube participate in it in the capacity that we who are in the community participate in it.

[doctornoise]

lol.... no, I'm not!

[outofthedark]

It just kind of looked like you were, maybe I've just never seen you talk for an extended period of time. haha.

[KatieGreat7]

Does putting thumbs down to the others boost you any?

[UnculturedProject]

Yes... but I think we should play clean. You should only thumbs down any other candidate if you have a distate for their application.

[outofthedark]

@KatieGreat7 I did that anyways, but I'm not sure.

[xmyotheraccountx]

why are the vlogbrothers not promoting you?!?

[UnculturedProject]

John did tweet about it and during the live show they had a running banner on the bottom with a link to vote for me.

[CleverestWitch2188]

There also have been links put onto the Nerdfighter ning.

[ipr88pfa]
