Contests- Are you happy with the end result/winner?

Recently, contests like; the cutest baby, best family photos and even the Johnson baby contest require public vote or your friends to vote online. At the end, the contestant who got the most votes win. 

Has this ever cross your mind whether the winner genuinely deserved to win at the end? I have recently participated in this online contest. I now realised you can actually exchange votes with others. Some even posted saying they can exchange up to 30 votes or person you don't even know voted for you and requested you to do the same. I was so naive that these votes are of genuine people who really support or like your entry. I was stubborn and did not voted back to any of these people who voted for me unless I find their entry is genuinely nice.

So, to stand a great chance of winning, even your submission is 'not up to standard', all you need to do is get all your friends/links to vote and exchange with others!!!!! This is unbelievable and unacceptable to me.
