"Show a little love" event!

So we're going to ignore the fact that I could annoy someone multiple times, and, if annoyed during the contest, they might throw a hissy fit by voting "Is not loved"? Certainly out of the question.

That could've been how you got the votes you did. But clearly not everyone you've ever annoyed cared enough to explicitly hunt you down during the event and bothered with you.

For someone who thinks he's so smart, you sure do have pomegranatety logic at times.

Why yes, you do. Pot. Kettle.

Yes, 'no's cancelled out 'yes' votes, but that wasn't the "whole point of voting no" as evidenced by the fact that Satellite won "Most Unloved".
If the contest was entirely unilateral, yes, 'no's would only serve to ensure that someone didn't end up winning "Most Loved", but that wasn't actually the case in this particular instance.

The explicitly stated winning condition of the event was to be "most loved". The unloved was a bonus award, not one stated or implied. You're making up your own rationale, either based on how the results turned out, or on your own flawed understanding of the stated contest parameters.
