RE: When will we need to buy $10,000 of votes to get on the Trending Page?

Witnesses can be voted or unvoted at any time. Our system doesn't have a date. Our group uses one of their 30 witness votes on the witness that gets the job done. It is a boutnty. They do the job, then they get the witness vote. The witness votes costs us nothing. We can also change our mind and unvote at any time. It is a leadership vote and because of that, it doesn't affect our earnings whatsoever.

Think of it like owning stock in which the stockholders have a voting right. You vote doesn't cost anything, but influences the decisions of the company.

You can unvote or switch your vote at any time to another witness. It is not an election where the witness holds the position for a specific amount of time. The witness must always do good to keep the position. If they suddenly do something that is bad, then they can be instantly be removed from position.
