      I personally don’t see it as a popularity contest. I see it more as an opportunity to show appreciation to other users of this community.

          A popularity contest is based on competition and can be exclusionary. In this case, it’s not about saying “which user is better than X user”, it’s only about thanking them for their contribution (at least that’s how I have interpreted it).

            The main goal is to praise the most voted condidates, the others being diminished is only a side effects. Exactly how a popularity contest works.
