I am not a witness but I am concerned about pulling down SBD price toward 1$. I will be removing my votes to witnesses that support Feed Premium.
What can we offer as ordinary Steemians?
Hold on to your SBD to fabricate a great demand of SBD in the market. In that way, merchants that are accepting SBD as payments will be force to buy SBD at a higher value. This will also mean that there will be less movement of SBD in the market and decreases inflation rate of the STEEM tokens.
@clayop's post about Three Reasons Why We Should Not Support Feed Premium pointed out strong points and weak points of having SBD price of more than a dollar.
Along with this post, I will be removing my votes to the witnesses I voted before and will choose deserving witnesses. So I am considering witnesses who does not support FEED PREMIUM and actively supports other steemit members.
The following witnesses who had my vote but will be removed after this post .

If you're a witness, comment below if you don't support feed premium and you will have my precious vote.
Now I know what's my value here on Steemit as an ordinary steemian. You too can help for the good of the community. Witnesses employ a major role in the community and for you as an ordinary steemian, every vote counts!

Steem On!
I want to echo pfunk's sentiment, and thank you for taking an active role in witness voting. The more people that do so and promote healthy discussion and debate, the stronger the platform will become.
You can check whether "bias" is highly positive on steemd.com/witnesses
0 means no premium nor discount and positive means premium.
I have to plead ignorance here. What's Feed Premium. Sounds like something I would be against...
SBD is supposed to be one dollar.
This is great, I hope more Steemians take an active interest in witness voting!
As for the premium, don't worry about it, it only takes effect based on the median. That'd require 10 top 20 witnesses, and it could shuffle around depending on the runner up witnesses in each round.
Currently, I think this is a non-issue. Over time, SBDs should stabilize at $1. It's fair policy to hasten the process, though.

Hi. Just for clarity, I think that having SBD back at $1 USD is something that we as witnesses should be trying to achive, but I do not think using a feed premium as a method to get there is appropriate/correct. You can verify that my feed is reporting 0 bias on http://www.steemd.com/witness.
Thank you thank you. Youre one of the best witnesses here.
Thanks @themanualbot!
