RE: 5 STEEM giveaway - What do you expect a Witness to do for STEEM?
My top 3 expectations of Witnesses:
I’d love to see regular reports on what they are doing for the community. I imagine the easiest way would be some kind of post (monthly maybe?) which has a basic outline of what each witness has done in past month and / or what are currently working on or will be doing in next month. And I say monthly, because I imagine some things take time, and that witnesses have things to do in real life away from Steem. Every 2 months? Quarterly?
Actively developing the blockchain and services/projects. Infrastructure is what supports the community. What’s kept me here are projects like MSP, Steemit Ramble, Writers Block, etc. These communities run radio shows, discussion, support for newbies, and also the fun stuff in between that keeps people engaged. This could also include all the various cool apps - from dLive and dTube, to steemitworldmap, and steemnow.
Do something about shitposts, spam, and bidbots. I guess this is a trickier issue, and perhaps there is a lot going on I don’t know about (which the regular missives would address, see point 1), but this is what prevents Steem from taking off, and would also address the issues should this scale upwards. The other social media platforms are crap because of all the spam and shitposts and advertising and advertorial. I want to use social media for coming together with others and sharing ideas, stories, art, and creative content in general.
Anyway, these are my 3 expectations. Maybe there is lots going on behind the scenes that I don’t know about, in which case I’d love to know about them.
Looking forward to see what comes of this.

Thanks @itstime and @shadowspub. I guess a subset to point 1 is.... let folk know about those also 😉.
I was thinking along the lines of a newsletter/missive. Something like a curated post, links to posts that outline current project, that sort of thing.
I’m aware of the radio shows, can’t make it all the time, just because, you know, life.

makes sense
Quality is in the eye of the beholder?
Shitpost suck, but some people appear to enjoy them, who are we to deny them that pleasure. :-D

delete all shitposters from your followers list
So there are shit posts which are low effort , goofy , selfie zoned - all of those are cool and I don't think anyone ever flags them.
Then there are shitposters who copy paste stuff from internet and boost it to trending , that's the main issue.
Copyright is history as everything is a remix anyway.
This is extremely difficult to deal with.
Any recipe of any dish IS a remix, yet i see LOTS AND LOTS of crap foodie posts that are copy pasted and some even so bad translated that it could be dangerous to eat.
