RE: @curie has supported you - You might want to consider a witness vote!
My English isn't good enough to get what you exactly mean here ;) Is it a bad thing that people are not here for the community?

This is a good question @r00sj3! It is always your choice. But, i think beeyou probably answers that in her post better that i will. Though, if not for the steem platform there will be no community. So then, i feel personally to have our communities with the larger whole it is my due diligence to choose witnesses that can run the platform well. And, to me that makes me care who's on this list! If you like @curie votes they also are now in a tricky spot because they need delegations to do their usual voting. They've lost their place, as i understand, in ranks. Personally, i think it is an issue that there are so many steemians that have not taken time to vote for witnesses. But,learning and choosing witnesses does come with responsibility. Best to discuss it with other steemians you know and trust.
"It is your choice. But...." -> You know what they say about that, right?
For now, I'll leave it to the people that know better what is going on... I'd like to pick mine, but I just know too little atm. And to be honest, I have other things that need my attention more than a community that will continue without me anyway. That doesn't mean I don't care... it is just that timing isn't right.
When I make my pick, I want to be comfortable with my choice. I really appreciate what curie is doing, but there might be less "famous" witnesses that deserve a vote too. I don't know if there are witnesses focussing on the technical side of everything...That is how little I know. But that would be something I'd like to figure out before I make my pick.
I just don't like the pressure of "participating" in the community. Each to their own... Like mentioned multiple times before by others, people have their own reasons to behave&participate the way they do on steemit. Being dragged into this witness discussion just because my content gets rewarded and I haven't picked my witness yet wasn't what I was ready for. Good that you are so passionate about the platform and witnesses yourself... Just don't tell me that I should too, I become recalcitrant in that case.
