    @wakeupkitty I'm not 100% sure what you mean. What I'm getting is a sense of not knowing the witnesses, like they don't share about themselves? ("... are not open") Then you're saying that they don't support the community? If so, I heartily disagree when it comes to many of our witnesses, based on my 45 months here.

    I know quite a few of the witnesses, and follow quite a few more but don't know them myself. With many of these folks being here 3-4 years, and the fact that everything on the blockchain is public, it's pretty to learn how someone will act/react. At that point you can generally trust someone to be them-self (act in the ways that they historically have), and that's about the best you can hope for with humans in general.

    When I recently re-did all my voting (in response to 0.22.2), I found that after giving out my 30 votes, there were still a couple people left that I wanted to support. I know the shift to less witness votes per vest is an important one, but I'm hoping it will be sliding scale like our voting weight, so I can still support a bunch of witnesses.

      Perhaps you know them because you follow them all but I do not and with me many Steemians do not. Can it be because they never swim between the little fish or answer? It's good to hear you have different experiences and are rewarded for it.
      If I look at the witness account, the description I cannot find up to date info about what they do and stand for. I like to know who I give my vote and believe me I am not the only one. I do not vote out of envy or fear or to get rid of an owner because some say... What do they say exactly?

      Thank you for sharing your experiences I will have a look if there's a chance for me as a mobile blogger only. All sites seem to be out of my reach. 💕
