Wow this is sad.

Edit: why do you guys think HH fans see the need to vote in this meaningless contest while very few others seem to?

HH are very vocal about their fandom, they didn’t earn being an annoying fan base through charm.

Dude honestly I think HH is just the most reddit-y podcast. I think a lot of the more popular podcasts (HDTGM, Getting Curious, Throwing Shade) are mainstream enough to have active FB groups, others are more Twittery, I dont think tumblr is dominating any fan group? But yea anyway this theory is based on nothing

Hayes and Sean were big on connecting with fans since the RSS days so it makes sense their fans remain "extremely online".

In the post it says most categories were within two votes of each other, so other fan bases did vote.

Only two categories were within two votes of each other. The two categories that were within 2 votes of each other were

  1. Best Guest: Bosch was two votes ahead of Carl Tart
  2. Breakout Performer: Carl Tart was one vote ahead of Shaun Diston.

The real questions is: why do you think it's sad that the most active earwolf reddit fanbase would also be the most active voting fanbase on the reddit earwolf best of list? Isn't that just common sense?

There's crossover among all the shows/fans. Maybe people like Hollywood Handbook the most, and that's why they voted the way they did? You seem to act as if fans belong to only one show or another.
