Hi
Its good to see your perspective on this. I know most of users still don't know what witness stuff is all about but this post is not supposed to be tutorial on that but I am still happy to explain which I am already doing because I got lot of dms after this post.
This writing prop is not about casting witness votes, I want to know their potential reason behind it. Most of the users don't know who are they voting for because they see others voting any specific person and they just blindly follow it.
If I ask you to share contribution of those 30 witnesss directly/indirectly to Hive blockchain, will you be able to do that or some of them are just names to you? (Just Yes/No would suffice because I want to know that atleast self-aware user like you did her research before casting those votes)
I had a blog in my drafts about it maybe I will share it today. And yes I Offcourse can without nameting names that for me be would be the three active and engaging the most beside doing the blockwork.
And in DM I would say reply to the blog this is an interesting situation.
Good that you took up the baton and made the blog. But do you agree that some only come because the ( possible ) appreciator vote is there? Because why would you answer if you have 30 or 29 un casted votes ?
Looking forward to see what you have to share
Yes, I agree many people will be doing it to get votes but as I said earlier. I am going to READ those posts and then MANUALLY vote those posts/or not.
I am currently voting for 13 witnesses who I consider to be worthy, I'll vote more when I find anyone doing real direct/indirect contribution to Hive.
They all have a link, and the blog will be up asap and i will tag you in it
