RE: Hey Worthless STEEM Witnesses.... Are You Going To Vote For Anyone With That God King Power?
A witnesses job is to secure the blockchain and ultimately your tokens by providing stable block producing nodes, price feed, review code changes, and implement hard forks.
Voting for people is not in their job description. The fact that they don't use their voting power actually makes your vote count for more.
I'm not going to defend inactivity, but to think a witness is any more responsible for voting posts than any other user is silly. It would be no different than any other user who has SP and is not voting. In fact, it's a gift to the community to not execute one's stake to draw from the reward pool, especially since most votes have nothing to do with the quality of content.
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.
this comment makes sense...
This.
On top of that, many witnesses are also working on tools to bring value to Steem. Manual curation is not part of the witness job description, but many of us are voting on important posts.
Wow!!! Congratulations..... keep patting each other on the back.
Now don't bitch out of this question since you are such a great cheer leader. Please tell me what @lukestokes has done besides doing reports? Was it worth hundreds of thousands worth of STEEM?
How about @timcliff ? Seems like a nice guys. A traditional cheerleader here ...... but what has he done to earn Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of STEEM?
Now how about @partiko ..... they are currently in 57th spot. Probably unprofitable?
Has @partiko done more for STEEM than @timcliff or @lukestokes ?
Again..... don't bitch out of the question. I expect you to be a real wolf and not a yes man like most of the brilliant witnesses.
Still waiting on your reply. It's now worth it though. We wouldn't want to hear people's real opinions. Wouldn't want to upset your co workers.
