This is unfair! The 10,000-view criterion does not reflect the quality or potential of a work. It is simply impossible for new accounts to gain that many views, especially without actively promoting themselves on social media.
I realize that my work looks very amateurish. But honestly, this is my first video created using AI. I spent about $100 on various AI tools—such as Claude, Midjourney, and Seedance 2.0—as well as about 100 hours of my time. During that time, I taught myself how to write scripts and prompts, use neural networks, and edit videos in CapCut.
Yet despite all this effort, I am not eligible to participate in the contest because my accounts are new, and over the course of a month, I only managed to get 1,000 views across four social platforms. I am aware that my video is for a niche audience and that the trending section features completely different works that might have taken just 15 minutes to create with AI. However, for the jury to view and evaluate it, my video is perfectly suitable.
So, to be honest, contests like the ones organized by Notcoin are much better. They required a Gram deposit, and all submissions without exception were reviewed by specialists who made a fair decision. In your case, I think you've overcomplicated the rules.
