Besides just a list of submitted projects and tags, is this data worth anything since the entire system the data is gathered from is skewed/biased/tainted by collusion among favored participants?
If anything it might tell you who the gate keepers are, and allow you to participate/navigate in a corrupt system, but this would just feed/grow a system that puts more power in the hands of the few.
You might then ask yourself if in the short term is the distribution afforded to you by your gaming a corrupted system worth it, and from what I've learned about building trust and strength with your audience, the answer is no.
In the long run you should pay into fair systems that act to reflect your philosophies and thus contribute to building healthy, long lasting communities that serve the good of all participants simultaneously.
