The obvious solution is to delay it until the contest is over :) Then there
could be absolutely no influence on the results.
Actually, there ARE radio contests that allow soliciting (but not confirming)
contacts on social media- many VHF contests. But I suspect even the most
devoted youtuber won't want to watch the details of a 15-30 minute MSK144
meteor scatter contact.

Sterling mentioned one intriguing possibility, the use of delay.
Wouldn't a long-enough delay eliminate the complaint about soliciting
contacts by non-amateur means? I'm thinking in terms of an hour or two
(or 6) for HF contests.
