RE: Papa Rodin Recovers - Goddamn Butchers
Sheer ignorance.
I don't know anything regarding that topic yet nor did It seemed to be a pressing matter for me yet, so I left it to the side and attended to other things.
Indeed, there's absolutely no pressing matter and there are so many things to learn about on steemit! In a few words, it resembles voting in the real world in the legislative elections
The little twist in steem is that your vote is weighted by your steem power, which gives a means to whales to influence the witnesses one way or another. In order to get their votes, witnesses create a "political program" and then advertise it in the hope that big whales will find out about it and show their support by approving that witness.
Fascinating.
Since none of the witnesses programs has either reached me or left enough of an impact on me to make me want to vote for them, I can consider continued ignorance as a good choice of action for the moment.
Thank you for the information, it reinforced my previous decision regarding this topic.
