Guess who is now checking in at #22 among all users as ranked by awards? That’s right, it’s your friendly neighborhood benjapin with 185. The latest projection has him becoming #1 early in 2023, then (not long after that) accumulating more awards than there are official lists.
But I didn’t want him to have all the fun, so last year I created a fake profile called “Award Genie”. It was created specifically to test my theory about bogus awards, and it has worked BRILLIANTLY. On the basis of less than 500 checks, this largely dormant profile “earns” an award (on average) every 4 days. At the current pace, Award Genie should beat benjapin to the top spot by a few months. Keep your fingers crossed!
Or, maybe just fix it.
