Again I'm not impressed. There are actually thousands of Steemians capable of "Witnessing" STEEM Power stacking up in their wallets. Some far more technical and serious about actually focusing on improving this ecosystem.
Some attempted to run Witnesses but weren't in the in crowd...etc. Some stick around at unprofitable backup spots. Some pray every night to the lords of Cobol for a vote from @freedom
Then how many people didn't bother to run a witness on this chain because the situation has always been a sham? It is a quick way to be unprofitable.
I think a lot of you don't realize how many people are quietly going out the back door because there are so many problems here and always have been.
In the time I have been here we have slipped from the #3 spot on CoinMarketCap to #51 currently. The market has spoken.
Most of the witnesses don't really care that much. They aren't engaged and are in a position to drain the system. They sort of treat STEEM like I treat my Ripple investment. It's just there and the only reason I'm invested is because the new people (Riptards) think it is something special for some reason. So I just use it and lose it.
It's so dumb to say it isn't in their job description. The reason they don't engage with the community is because they don't have to. Keep sitting on the throne I guess and spiral the price down to $0.05.
The more passively you can earn the coins and keep dumping the least skin off your back.
For now I have my vote still in place for you @themarkymark because I actually can see you are technical and have fought spam .....etc
Most of the time though I think about removing all my votes except for a couple of Witnesses and of course getting my investment out of here.
