I imagine that the people who win their categories will get some incremental bump in sales on Beatport. I will vote for Chymera and Gregory Tresher because I like their music.
And this whole thing wasn't meant as a rip on Beatport per se. I admire what they've been able to do in just a few years. Since they try and cover all dance genres it's easy to make fun of them from a techno partisan point of view, but I've been pretty happy as a customer. As far as the specific area of Detroit techno, not so much. I go to Detroit Digital Vinyl for the Submerge-distributed stuff. But a lot of the artists I'd want to buy download music from are still very vinyl-centric. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but since I'm not a Professional DJ by trade, it's not the most convenient format for me to buy music. Though it is very tempting to bring a turntable into work at the hospital, and be like House MD....
