JOTY will never be a purely academic endeavor for me. I don't vote for jams i don't want to listen to again and again.
People should stop trying to define it. There's absolutely no criteria for what makes a jam good.
tl;dr. vote pancakes. the idea that a motif can't carry a jam is false

My definition and understanding of the JOTY tournament is to identify the most exploratory and risky jams. That’s why it’s a top 6-7 jam for me.

chop knows the vice or virtue eggy joty episode (www.osirispod.com/podcasts/vic...) is so innie we've got green carpet and refer to ourselves as the osiris mdr podcast (macrodata refinement, for you severance n00bs)
Your innie, an Eggy fan, is super excited for the Eggy Jam of the Year. They’ve got their Nugs playlists, spreadsheets, and notes ready.
Your outtie, a Dogs fan, thought about doing JOTY, but instead ripped a bong hit, at a breakfast sandwich, and then searched “What’s a podcast?” on Ask Jeeves.

I think most people listen, or a substantial amount. I think those of us on BGB a lot have a skewed perception because of the strong pod influence and GR/MKE focus
There will always be biases. I enjoy listening to the jams. But the JOTY isn't necessarily the best jam. Just the winner of a contest

i’m anti JOTY bc no one knows how to behave or vote. it’s a bunch of sheep voting for what they were told was good

You're not really anti-JOTY if you're getting mixed up in JOTY discourse, Fran.

It was either that or deliver a lecture on the irony of a podcast host administering a very data-driven JOTY arguing against an empirical categorization of jambands.
