Pele goes out on a limb with the post below his first statment: "...people are afraid of downvotes and other backstabbing" is so true. Most people are afraid to stir the pot or rock the boat because of those fears.
I want to thank @pele23 for the inspiration for this post.
I am going to quote and respond to statements from his post. Here for full reading is the link to his post: Changing Hive from the inside: what witnesses to vote on?
"Most of the accounts have no clue who they are voting for as witnesses, and let that be essential in the path to changing Hive from the inside. "
I could not agree more. I did not have a clue when I first joined. I first proxied my votes out to let someone else use my votes as they saw fit. Second when I stopped that, I automaticlly voted for the top 20. Not saying that is a bad thing. The bad thing is I did no research into the people/witnesses I was voting for. 30 votes is a lot, I am still working on researching people. And I change my votes as I see fit.
"So, I have a question for everybody who dares to answer, which witnessess need to be dropped out of the top 20 and which need to be entered in! I have already a few witnesses I am sure off, that have the right mindset to do the best for Hive, that is** theBBHproject** (aka @bradleyarrow), Leofinance by @khaleelkazi and town-hall by @l337m45732, @anomadsoul and @taskmaster4450.
But here comes the million dollar question that could have a huge impact on your account and your wallet, which other witnesses to vote in?
Be my guest, drop them in the comments, and tell me why... I won't judge anyone!"
The first part of this: who dares to answer. And you know what, besides a comment from me, only 1 person answered. Read into that what you will.
Pele listed three witnesses I am proud that I was one of them. Never in my life did I think I would be mentioned in the same sentence with the other two. I am pround of the fact that I was.
That brings up the question that people don't like to hear. Are you going to keep sitting there complaining, bitching about things, or are you going to take the time and effort to start researching and voting for Witnesses you believe in.
That being said, I am NOT asking for you vote, I am asking you to look at everything and why you are voting for who you are.
I am even going to remove my usual daily updates from this post so you are left with only what is above to think about.
