RE: Is DPoS Just a Popularity Contest?
As a small fish in this big sea, I often wonder the same thing. As you have said most witnesses do not post or engage with us small fish it can be hard to choose. I do believe that my vote counts, but understand that a few whales truly determine who makes the top 20. I do my best to vote for witnesses that make a contribution, ie. create and build projects that support the growth of STEEM.
Thanks for doing what you can.
There's also an issue with correlating Steem witness pay with pay that relates directly to a product or project which benefits the Steem ecosystem. A long time ago the witness pay was drastically reduced to make it clear that position isn't about building products as much as it is about running a trustworthy producer node, though of course there are many different opinions on this.
Thanks for the reply. I understand that coming up with a way to determine a way to create a rating. Maybe they current SP weight could changed to remove some of the top SP holders to better reflect the average Steemians vote.
