I don’t know. It feels a bit like competing against Taylor Swift in a song competition on a Taylor Swift fan site. That’s an exaggeration of course, but I don’t think it’s too much of one.
I do agree that it feels somewhat weird. But it’s worth noting he didn’t actually win the top spot. I also think it’s fairly important for the competition to be grounded in “we’re actually trying to produce the best stuff”, and for us to have an evaluation process that’s actually checking what the best stuff is.
I think the metaphor here is if Taylor Swift goes and founds a community about songwriting, aiming at writing literally the best songs in the world because the fate of the world is at stake and there’s an alien god asking us to Show It What We Got. And, well, yeah it’s hard to compete with Taylor Swift but man it’s even harder to compete with reality, and that’s what the competition is actually about.

I mostly don’t think it seems weird. He got 2 of the top 10 slots. That’s like, a fine amount. He might not even get any this year.
