• “Industry” can vote (i.e. PR/Labels) but your bias is adjusted by a reduced value vote (unless you clearly vote across the board and off business interests).

Votes are evaluated and worth 2 or more points based how many you vote for:

7 is the peak for maximising your vote points but not by that much  -you can vote as many as you want (beyond 20 it gets thinner in value)
