RE: Do you want the platform to be friendly to dolphins and minnows? Then @smooth and @abit are not your enemy!
It makes me sad that the people who care the most about the community are being voted out of the witness list. The experiment has only had positive effects so far, sure some people have had their rewards reduced but it is for the benefits of the majority and we've seen everyone benefits from it one way or another. Blockchains are valuable because they empower people the more they do the more valuable they are, the fact that a few people control everything on steem makes it a worthless blockchain.
I am seriously questionning the security of steem to protect the interest of the majority if people like smooth and abit are being voted out. I think we need to start a petition or something to make sure they stay on that list, these guys have done far more for the community than most in the top 20.
Interesting angle, though smooth and abit still in top 19 (smooth just about) so doesn't look like any un-voting has had much effect.
Last I checked abit was first on the list and smooth 7 or 8. Now they are 18 and 19 so they are clearly on the way out..it's sad.
Ah, I didn't look recently before a few minutes ago. Have we got graphs for this?
I don't know but it would be interesting to have something where we can look activity for witness votes.
Also what do you think of @klye 's recent post?
Founded?
Klye apparently supported steemit inc hardfork and got voted out of the list so I don't think he got voted out by steemit devs, not for this reason anyway.
It looks like it had nothing to do with that. There is clarification in the comments of the thread.
