Self-sponsorship

Self-sponsorship is a form of sponsoring where the creator of the YTMND sponsors his or her own work to get on the sponsored list, in order to get views and votes.

Disadvantages/Criticisms Of Sponsoring

While sponsoring was created to improve YTMND, its ability to give sites exposure has on occasion backfired. This has led to some users downvoting purely for someone sponsoring their own work, whether it is of good quality or not. A similar fate befalls sites made by unpopular users that make the sponsored list: when AwesomeBob sponsored sites by inkdrinker the sites in question received even more downvotes than before.
