Change in Best Answer process?

I used to get 1 or 2 emails a week to let me know my answer was chosen best. In the past few months, it seems to have sky-rocketed to 30 or more per week. I also noted that a cluster of 40 or so emails came though for questions I answered a year ago. It's as if someone woke up a bunch of people and told them it was time to award Best Answer to year-old questions they had asked. Am I getting better at answering or has the process changed? Is the staff using more intense urging to get folks to award Best Answer?

Update:

Only the asker can award Best Answer, so Yahoo Answers staff do not pick the Best Answers in a mass clearing process – unless the process has changed.

    Thanks for writing to me multiple times. The process of best answers has undergone maintenance in the past several decades. Just kidding. Idk but I'm not as concerned with the email thing. However... I bet you have many many emails and it's either really hard to find or its just so flooded that yahoo answers doesn't feel the need to email you since you're a yahoo answers god.

    honestly speaking I don't know the answer to this question, but I found the one you gave my own question very helpful and I awarded it with the best answer, of course. could you please check it again ?

    I added some more questions in the comments that I'd really like to be answered by you. Just being 100% honest and trying to draw your attention since I can't contact you in any other way.

    Thanks in advance
