RE: The Case for "Enlightened Self-interest" on Steem /Help me fill up the @openmic reward pool this week/
It is great that you are doing this and applaud you for taking this route. Now I happen to have listened to the witness show last Saturday in the Steemit Ramble and realize how anti-minnow someone I was supporting there with words said in the program that I have a free witness vote I could use and will be campaigning for pfunk as a witness then.
There is a tremendous impact generally held views have on value of Steem (shown in the fact that Steem has dropped more then 15 places in market cap)
"Steem is a platform where large stake holders upvote themselves and mediocre content is rewarded"... and the view: "Steem is a platform where the highest of quality content is rewarded and large stake holders act as leaders that uplift the community"... lead to two different outcomes.
I have tried listing a few of those that i see openly supporting the community. We need more like them. Some of them are witnesses whose work is very respectable.
Not pinging them again but Teamsteam, one of the nicest guys here that gives out more then 2000$ every day. Pharesim similar thing, could be even more. Drakos runs a anti abuse group and supports the community. Gtg supports projects and is very connected to the community. Surpassinggoogle. Acidyo-creator of OCD.
There are some truly amazing witnesses and curators here.
Which is why there is always somewhere to go with your vote when you hear stuff like that on the radio.. ;)
