I proxied my witness vote to Asher (@abh12345) and @Paulag who run the @SteemCommunity account. They truly care for the well being of the platform.
I wondered about that account, I will do my research and then vote.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
I like that idea. I'm going to do the same.
... Just tried and it never completed doing either of them as a write in. It worked for you? For me it just spins and spins after I do the steemconnect verification.
Never blindly follow someone or something you don't know @indigoocean, for no fucking reason on this damn planet.
Do your own research, I was not impressed by @SteemCommunity at all.
(I got ignored when I introduced myself even tho I marked @abh12345 and @paulag who were online & The general chat was dead and Steemcommunity.com is a 2page website.)
After 5 hours with no answer or chat activity I left.
Hi @valorforfreedom
My status of 'away' does not mean I am online, last night I was helping someone move apartments and then sleeping - its best to contact me directly there, or on the blockchain where I spend the most time.
Our website will always be a work in progress, and I don't feel it's fair to judge us on that.
What might be a better judge is a look at our personal accounts with regards to:
Witness voting
Delegations
Voting behaviour
Level of engagement here on Steem
The support for our witness I feel comes from the above, and this is mostly the criteria I use when selecting witnesses.
Again, if you wish to speak to me I will do so directly on discord, or here on Steem.
Cheers
Asher
I will rejoin the server and get a better judgment : )
Cheers!
I'm glad you did as I think it was beneficial for all of us to find out a bit more about how we both act and do things here.
No, I already like them and follow both of them. I just hadn't thought to write them in as witness, but love the idea and wish I had thought of it.
It's not about them (well it is, partly), it's about Steemcommunity, the chat is inactive (no activity in 5 hours) and the website is a 2pager.
You obviously not checking that out and wanting to give your whole votes away is a big problem.
So when I read @fulltimegeek saying they truly care for the platform but they don't reply to text messages in 5 hours even tho online, their website a 2 pager and the chat dead I really gotta wonder what FTG, Paulag and ABH consider caring for the platform.
Some do more, some do less, I am a Steem machine, so in my eyes nobody does more than I do because I have seen nobody writing 600 HQ posts in a row while learning witnessing, building a community, multiple website and freelancing, you might as well completely ignore what I wrote because my work effort and discipline is unmatched (here on Steem)
Tell me if you find someone that works more or the same on Steem, I want to be friends with them : )
hi @valorforfreedom. Our chat is inactive because we engage here on steemit, I think you will find posts from both @abh12345 and myself explaining so. With hivemind on the horizon and hundreds of Steemit channels on discord, we didnt see the need to have another chat room off steemit.
Glad to hear you are a steem machine, Me, well I cant compete with that. I have two children and i am a full time mum. i also run my own business and do this without using childcare so you can imagine the balances I have to make for steemit. And I do this without powering down to grow my investment and account on steemit.
I am in Ireland - I see it was 8:30 last night when you sent a message in discord. its 9am now the following morning. i really dont think that is over the top in terms of waiting for someone to reply.
Im my eyes, from running the data, I see plently of people doing more on steemit than you - I can drop you their names and you can see if they come back to you quick enough.
I enjoyed the voice chat! I am impressed by the work that you guys do and in how you do it (honest) + helping the new Steemians!
My first impression was a bad one, but now it is my easiest witness vote ever : )
I am looking forward to chatting with you and abh12345 again!
Thank you for your kind words of support @indigoocean 😁
Hello friend. When you remove people who run bidbots and those who are at the centre of circle jerks, is there anyone left? My own take on it is, it's far better to pay ones way to the top rather than opening one's legs to get a circle vote (excuse my harshness). There are also people who do take care with which accounts their bots are upvoting - they run blacklists carefully and as fairly as possible - and they are involved with communities - I can mention to you and your friends, @enginewitty, and @poetsunited just two witnesses involved in community and curation (with small bots supporting those communities).
I will vote for you as soon as you return to the witness effort (holding thumbs) - because your passion and integrity seem obvious to me from the video.
Take care and enjoy the summer.
Thank you Oneazania, I will not become a witness unless Bitbots and the witness system are reworked.
Steem to me seems like a social experiment "Can people form a government here? Will tyrants rule? The answers are obvious to people who know how life works.
The ones with the most power will rule, and who has the most power is reflected in their Steem Power value. Depending on the person we will either have a shit system, or a good system.
It is up to the kings what Steem will become.
Thank you for your honest approach @valorforfreedom . Much appreciated. It is to bad that I came to Steem at such a traumatic time.
My channel name "white-lie-living" was picked because of my personality and willingness to say and tell a truth. With that said, I removed my real name and replaced it with what I think the community thinks of me. In these times that we are currently witnessing, a breath of fresh air can cool the hottest temperament.
I am going to resteem and follow you if you do not mind. I just really like the "valor" that you just put forth. Stay cool and frosty.
Thank you!
You should join my Discord server where we talk about "the truth" on a daily basis, no fucks given.
https://discord.gg/VRSaB9y
Thanks for taking the time to send me a message. You are very welcome. I just left discord for the third time after reading there terms of service agreement. Let me think about joining back up again, I truly appreciate you giving me an opportunity to voice my concerns and possibly start a friendship.
Somehow the second witness resignation post I read today (the first one being 4 months old). I didn't watch the video before commenting but having never known about both of you makes me sad.
(While reading this I see the numbers in your footer. I'm just 18 days longer here than you, I suppose, having joined on 29th of August last year.)
Is it a good idea to drop oneself out of a society because many people are doing things which feel wrong to oneself? I'd say no, it's not ...
I had my issues which the people on this platform from the start. But actually that makes me care though.
Sorry for that bunch of thoughts of mine. I don't know whether they make any sense to you.
Best regards!
Everyone can decide that for himself.
They do, no problem.
Cheers!
Sooo, wtf is going on? I'm not removing my vote. If my vote is worth nothing it still is a statement with regards to what kind of folks I think should be witnesses. I have 23 un-used votes because I'm mostly blind as to who those people are.
It's not profitable, too much politics, corruption, that is why I stopped being a witness in a nutshell.
That is good!
Only vote for witnesses that you know do good things for Steem and which you like, it should not be otherwise.
I'm glad there are people with integrity on the platform like yourself. Your post really resonated with me and your message and the motivations behind it. It's not healthy to support something you don't believe in and while the circle jerk may continue without you at least you don't have to be a part of it.
I'm sure there are other witnesses who also feel the same way you do!
hi @valorforfreedom
Where's your t-shirt? :)
You looked so very disappointed. Hope you will be happy with your decision.
Such a lost.
:D
No need to be disappointed, I will go nowhere, and I am quite happy with my decision, no wasting money anymore :)
thank you for your kind reply @valorforfreedom
I really appreciate your time and effort (I can tell how busy you are)
have a great monday ahead :)
Piotr
You are not a faithful witness ...
Can't watch the video due to dead network here but it's a damn shame @valorforfreedom, I felt you were one of the sensible guys. I haven't voted anyway, but it's a shame you'll no longer be on that list
It's no big deal.
Well I'll take your word for it. All the same, it's a shame
What actually is a witness? No ones ever explained it

if you want to hear some of the witnesses talk about who they are and what they do as well as take part in a community discussion you may want to join us in the Steemit Ramble on Saturday August 18th at 11am EDT for the 6th Witness Chat ... recordings of the last five are on my blog
Ok great sounds interesting, thanks 😀

My pleasure!
Fair enough thx for your honesty
I proxied my witness votes to FTG and i guess he proxied them to @abh12345 which was my second option for vote proxying!
Being a Steem witness this late in the game is hard, i've been around EOS since the mainnet launch and let me tell you the Block producers(EOS witnesses more or less) were and are hard to choose and many of them don't deserve to be in the top even though they are!! But the ones that got to be Block producers will probably stay there until the end of EOS just like most the first STEEM witnesses will probably be up there until the end of STEEM.
