Suggesting someone just for preference is a bit hypocritic, especially because I am also a witness.
If you want "hints" about how to choose them, I can give you my end...
Usually, I choose by:
Seeing that the witness is around (quite very important)
Not constantly failing blocks (otherwise means it does not have a way to maintain the chain stable). If witnesses have problems with their nodes, then they should disable, fix the problems, and once all good, re-enable. - Do not confuse this with a witness having a great total of failed blocks. That might mean nothing.
It's helping the community in some way...
It's not asking for money in exchange for votes (if they are, they are not helping the security of the chain)
If providing infrastructure for the blockchain, like public RPCs, etc... (and if in the top 30's) then this becomes a second priority on the list, otherwise, it's a big plus but I don't see it as mandatory, especially because it becomes costly to maintain without a bigger plan.
Helping around in general
etc...
There are lots to consider, but I might just have made an "out of my mind" list... anyone can make their own "choices"...
Ok I'll consider looking into other witnesses. I normally look at hbd %, and developers that I know do something useful that I use, or witnesses that flow through some income to me.
I think my witness votes are reasonable to the people I want to support. I don't think I need to vote for more as I don't know what reason to without spending time looking at it in great detail. My stake is low enough to not make meaningful difference. There may be one or two to remove and maybe look into others.

If you think so, then its fine. Up to you, I was just suggesting in case you didn't vote for more for some time.

I would not pounder the amount of stake as a decision factor to vote. Any amount should be valid. And like any voting system, its not about the power, its about the principle and what it means for everyone as a community.

HBD% only matters on the top 20 (where its effective), otherwise its just a signal in case that witness goes to top 20.
Do you have a suggestion or just to vote for the sake of it

Thanks for replying back.
