Thanks for this explanation. I'm really new on Steemit. I didn't at all understand voting for witnesses. I think I get it now. So the witnesses who are good to the community deserve our votes, while the self-serving witnesses don't deserve votes? Question--It seems like minnowbooster is good for the community because it encourages new users to stick around. But what do I know? This post suggests it's a bot and that bots are bad. How do you feel about it?
