I know a little about witnesses. They're basically users like me and you, but have some level of authority on the Blockchain by virtue of there contributions and there HP. They do a lot of work and the own most Dapps on the Blockchain.
Witnesses on Hive are the key decision makers and they usually have a lot of following!
If you notice on some automated comments on your posts, witnesses can be found begging for votes.
But why the push!
Witnesses are the ones who agrees on what should and should not be done on the Blockchain. So, the more votes they earn, the more authority they earn.
I've voted few witnesses such as the witnesses behind Ecency and PeakD projects and fee others.
My drive towards voting for them is based on the fact that they are impacting on my Hive experience. I also try to read their descriptions and follow their external links to know more about a witness before voting.
You've raised a nice subject here, and this awareness is worth it.
Oh wow. This means I had been wrong all along. I had always thought the reason they needed the votes was so they can be paid in HBD, that way, they can focus on building the Dapps, instead trying to create posts, comments, and other community activities to earn. I had no idea they already had the earnings, they only wanted the power and authority to do what they knew best.
Yea. That's true!
Though, I've only been here for quite a few time! So, I may not be 100% correct! But I'm confident I'm not 90% wrong.
I'll share a resource as soon as I'm able to find something informative on it.
And maybe, through further readings, I could gain a clearer understanding.
Wait, are you saying my thoughts are correct in a way too? 🥺

Very well then
Thank you
Oh wow!
Now, it's all beginning to make some sense to me. I didn't understand Jack about this before now. Thank you for the insight.
You're welcome dear!
I don't think it's based on HP though because I have seen a few who didn't have all that, it is simply based on the server or node they run.
Alright. Thanks for clarifying!
You are welcome.
