In business terms, it's not meaningless at all, more another exercise in keeping the biggest names at the top of the pile which in turn makes them a more lucrative booking for a promoter.
There's a reason why agents will go to such lengths to ensure that their clients get as many votes as possible. It doesn't stop with big social media campaigns, there has been strong evidence in the past that agents have being advertising jobs whereby someone who can provide 5000 votes from unique IPs can earn themselves a nice little wedge by submitting recurring votes for an artist.
In essence; corrupt? Yes. Meaningless? No.

Plus the fact that Ravine had a campaign to get votes for it, and I don't think Cotts ever even mentioned it.
