RE: Proposal to increase witness voting participation on Steem

in #utopian-io7 years ago

The Steemit platform is for everybody, and the Steem should also be for everybody. But there are a lot more minnows and planktons then there are whales. And for minnows and planktons it is not very clear what witnesses do, so I think the witnesses have to integrate a whole lot more into the community. After all they are people! And what do people like? Precisely, other people they can relate to! When you come here on Steemit in the beginning, everything is really overwhelming, and if somebody asks you to vote for a witness then at that time, how do you know what to do, why you have to do so, or who you have to vote for, if none of the witnesses is visible for you as a plankton or minnow. Witnesses have to be more visible. I've been on Steemit for four months now, and I've never spoken to one witness :) Why should I vote for them?
