RE: Moving to hive
Yes, I agree. I'm going to be looking at changing my witness votes around significantly (but does it even matter when @freedom can strong arm anyone it wants into the top 20?)

Someone who has millions and millions of dollars worth of Steem at stake should have a much bigger say than you. However, your votes absolutely do count (just not to the same degree, as it should be), so please use them.
Of course that makes sense. And yeah, I always use all 30 of my votes. Shifted them around quite significantly today, too, based on what I observed during the past couple of weeks.
I wish we could revisit some of the suggestions made in this post from 10 months ago where @steemitblog asked for input, and then seemingly very few or none of them were implemented.
I especially liked the idea of an adjustable slider for curation % on posts. If not that, I believe an increase in general is needed, either to 33.33%, 37.5%, or 50%.
As with everything there are tradeoffs. Community input is great, but at the same time a full time dev team has its own (hopefully) coherent vision on how the system should evolve. Possibly, such a coherent vision is preferable to a hodgepodge of (even individually good) ideas. Some community-sourced ideas can be implemented without disrupting a development roadmap, but not necessarily all.
If you feel strongly that the approach being taken is the wrong one then please continue to express that (including via witness votes, but not only that).
Yeah, I know what you mean. But, with all due respect, what we have now comes off as a hodge-podge of random ideas thrown together. Devs aren't renowned for their social skills, but it would be nice if there was a whole liaison team that tried to convey that vision to the overall Steemit community, not just @andrarchy. Maybe then it would seem more cohesive.
I guess a major difficulty in the whole thing is that it's hard to bridge the gap between programmer knowledge and concepts a layman can understand. Nonetheless, I'll keep doing my best to try to grasp why things work the way they do and keep questioning if they really ought to be that way. Thanks @smooth.
Likewise thanks for the discussion.
Speaking of shifting witness votes around, I have not been able to unvote witnesses for months now. Once I vote for a witness, trying to unvote them just makes the upvote icon spin for hours without actually unvoting them.
Yes, I'm logged in with my active key,
Do you have any idea how to fix this? I've contacted github about it an never got a response.
Hmmm, that's very odd. I've never heard of that and don't know of a fix, but let me ask around @luzcypher.
@freedom uses @pumpkin as witness voting proxy. For the top 20 witnesses, @pumpkin voted 17. Without @pumpkin's vote, 13 witnesses won't be in top 20.
The conclusion is our votes do not make difference.
Woah
Ouch!
Slowly getting through the debates here and... please consider @stem.witness - the brand new witness from @steemSTEM. We have a new Standalone app on the way and an unimaginable amount of stuff coming up!
