I like to vote more backup witnesses than top witnesses, and it's true, they usually get the vote because I appreciate something else they do for the chain besides producing blocks and securing the chain, and some of them I interacted with at a personal level. Another criterion I use when choosing witnesses to vote for is their location. A geographically balanced list of serious witnesses is also important, both for the speed at which APIs are available in different regions of the world and for the resilience of Hive in case of regulatory adverse situations.

It looks like many more experienced Hivians are searching for that "live contact" with witnesses and appreciate more differences and diversification of Witness roles...
Thanks for sharing your witness voting reasons!
