Colossal Reviews 2

The People's Artist is a huge disappointment and a total pay-to-win scheme. It has nothing to do with art or talent. It’s just a popularity contest and a money grab. If an artist doesn't have thousands of followers or rich friends to buy votes, they stand no chance, no matter how beautiful their work is. It’s deeply unfair to independent creators. Genuine art contests are judged by experts, not by the size of your wallet. Don't waste your time or money on this

I participated in the **America’s Favorite Pet Contest** run by Colossal Management, LLC and it was very troubling. My ranking **dropped overnight from 1st to 6th place with no explanation or audit trail**, and then the rankings froze completely despite my continued participation.

The system is clearly designed to **pressure participants into soliciting more donations** to try to regain lost ground. When I requested transparency or a clear explanation, the company **stopped responding entirely**.

This behavior is misleading, unfair, and non-transparent. I have now escalated the matter to the **Better Business Bureau (BBB)**, the **Federal Trade Commission (FTC)**, and the **Federal Communications Commission (FCC)** to hold them accountable.

**Do not trust this contest**. Rankings can change arbitrarily, donation pressure is constant, and the company ignores any reasonable request for explanation.
