Hmm, let's see...
"You" personally never paid XBIZ any money for advertising, yet XBIZ is in your sig, and you have a profile stating:

I work(ed) for Extreme Associates developing their website. Months later, former Anabolic sister company Diabolic signed me on to become their post production manager (and main video editor).
By the age of 21 I had produced/directed/edited 22 entire movies (over 120 scenes), most of which became Diabolic's current group of websites. I did a handful of movies for Anabolic Video after leaving its former sister company.

Although I am not familiar with your specific work, I applaud your apparent skills and success, however if you are trying to tell me that Extreme Associates, Diabolic, and Anabolic, didn't advertise in XBIZ for your projects, then I have to call bullshit.
Perhaps your post defending the sacred integrity of XBIZ may increase your odds of being more than a "Top 10 Director" for XBIZ (translation: nominee, not winner), but most people in the real marketing world know that advertising dollars with trade journals that hand out awards, has a correlation to people that get nominated and win awards (it's not 100%, since that would be too obvious), but nonetheless, that's pretty much the way things go.
I wish you continued success whether you win awards or not, but I felt that since you are young, I should disabuse of the notion that everything is based upon meritocracy.
