That is not really what i said @englishtchrivy. I will not make a proxy-witness-vote for banfield as i see he is almost not voting any of the top 20 witnesses.
But i do give him a witness vote as i think he knows how to sell and market stuff and i am happy he has all his attention on SteemIt.

am sorry if I mistook it as so

who you cast your vote is none of my business

but imho .. selling and marketing Steemit is the one reason to qualify as a witness we'd be doomed cause then anyone may just as well run as one cause aren't we all doing that already?

edit : and maybe you should read the comment of @public-eye and the rest below

Sorry..have to reply one more time... One seller/marketeer in the top 20 is almost a necessity imho...

I know very well about the stuff @public-eye is saying and that was a pretty bad action to say the least but Jerry is the reason i landed here on this platform, together with a zillion others. He has shown me everything i wanted/needed to know about this platform and i like him for that.

I don't like his videos and he is definitely ego-centered (which all famous bloggers are) but by doing his utterly best to lift himself up, he is taking Steemit with him and that's what we all want, don't we?

With love and happy to meet you in the far comment corners @englishtcrivy

no need to apologize we're just exchanging opinions aren't we?
no hurt feelings I hope ?

I agree that a top marketer is a necessity but not enough to qualify one as a witness imho.
edit : btw, that "zillions of others" is an exaggeration we're not even half a million yet last time I checked and TDV probably has brought more than he did

I admire your sense of gratitude and I totally understand you cause I also am thankful that I gave myself a chance to listen to TDV but you should give yourself most of the credit cause no matter how much sales pitch anyone does about Steemit if you haven't taken action and are still continuing to post - then all is in vain.

I am not a fan of egocentric peeps nevertheless likewise .. it's good to bump into you even though it's through this ... am parking my keypad after this since imho we've clarified everything else
