This is one of the best replies I think I've ever received on one of my posts! So good, in fact, that I thought it deserved much more than my upvote (since most of my SP is delegated) so I went ahead and bought a bigger vote for it since this is a shining example of when post promotion services should be used.
You're absolutely spot on with everything you've said. Now that I re-read my post I was really mixing being a witness with being a leader of the platform. It's not required for a witness to be a Steem leader and vice versa, even though they very often do overlap.
As you said though, for witnesses being a leader is great, but setting the monetary policy and ensuring the platform runs smoothly is the absolute top priority. A great example of this is the bandwidth issues that new users are currently experiencing right now and I know the top witnesses are discussing potential solutions to that problem.
Thank you kindly! Good to know the bandwidth issue is being discussed, things are heating up here in Steem land :)
