Basically, everyone posts their votes as normal on the IC thread. But there'll be a Google form posted somewhere (not sure if it'll be here or on the IC thread) where you simply rate each entry from 0-10 and each rank has some sort of score attached to it. Like, for example, if you rank an entry 10/10 it'll have 5 points added to its televote total, if you rate it 5/10 it's pretty much the same as giving it a 0. I'm guessing if the televote total is a minus then it's basically the same as "I'm sorry, zero points", which'd make sense unless there's someone willing to have points taken away from their jury vote. And at the end, our gracious host will sort out the televote things, adds them up to everyone's scores and there we go.
Or something along those lines, might have to ask Kish just to be sure. I've got my doubts about this whole thing too but I'm trying to keep optimistic about it.
This is a good explanation. The specifics are pretty much all covered in what I posted a few posts above. I'll be posting the form here, on the IC and on discord so nobody misses it.
In terms of your specific questions Nek, it is intended to be your overall opinion of each song /10. It's not recommended to split it up into specific categories as, in order to check that people aren't voting randomly, the televote will be compared to your jury votes (so for example, if you gave 12 points to a song on the IC thread, we then wouldn't be able to accept your votes if you ranked it lower than another song which you gave less points too). Of course because this is the first time we are doing this, then there may be changes to this in the future (if we continue with it). But for this edition, that's how it'll work.
To those who are disappointed about the televote, you did of course have the option to debate it on discord, and it did prove to be overwhelmingly popular (63% is more than 37, just like 52 is more than 48). So I recommend you suck it up and participate! If the community don't want it in the end, then that's okay, but we are trying it and it is happening.
