Thanks for the clarification. I would just like to clarify one point regarding the adjustment.
My channel was essentially launched from scratch around the time of this project, so I used official paid advertising simply to introduce my music to an initial audience and attract real viewers and subscribers. I have continued using the same advertising tools for my other music videos as part of the normal promotion of my channel, independently of this contest.
I did not use bots, view farms, purchased engagement, or any other artificial methods. The paid advertising brought real users to the videos, and their further engagement was organic.
As far as I understood the contest rules, the use of legitimate paid advertising was not prohibited. Therefore, I would appreciate clarification on whether the reward adjustment was made specifically because the video had been promoted through official advertising tools, or because you detected some other activity that you considered non-organic.
Thank you.
