My Steem Witness Insights After 3 Months
You don't need to know the technical side, in fact, I highly recommend to pay someone with SBD to set this shit up for you.
In 3 months I didn't need to touch my server and when I need help I just ask one of my witness friends, so the technical side is highly overrated and high tier witnesses will lie to you about it to artificially boost their social status aka they fool you which is a reason to remove your vote from them.
Besides that, you will never get into the top 20 if they don't want you there. The whales that exclusively sell their votes for a ton of cash think otherwise tho.
In other words, technical skill & networking don't play a role. If you have cash and don't care about how you reach the top then this is the perfect opportunity for you.
Pay some whales to give you their vote, you gotta talk with them first tho and the top 20 won't be so happy when they see that their favorite whale removed their vote to give it to your ass.
Sucking the dicks of the whales and top 20 witnesses will get you far too, in fact, most women and even many dudes here on Steem do it for $$$ just like in real life.
Talking with witnesses and not asking for upvotes all while being a Minnow that helps the community to grow won't get you anywhere.
In fact, most don't give a shit about the community and that is no secret.

My ultimate goal as a Steem Witness is to improve the quality on many Steem based platforms and to maintain the Steem blockchain.
If you value what I do I would be happy if you would vote for me at the bottom of the Witness voting page. Simply scroll down, enter "valorforfreedom" click on vote and that's it. If I am in the top 50 you can also just vote for me there.
You can also vote for me by clicking on the picture below with my account name in it. Afterwards you simply have to log in with Steemconnect and I will receive your vote.

I like how you think and what you say.
Take my vote :)
Thank you too = ))
I have wrote an article about this 8 months ago. I think steemit is still a social experiment.When money comes in the way of social network interaction ,unintended consequence can happen. Your conclusions are absolutely correct and its true for witness and 99% of steem users.
Seeing this as a social experiment is quite an interesting perspective, thank you for commenting Sanees.
I hope upcoming hard fork will bring more power to minnows but then minnows might think to game the system. Greed is never ending cycle.
Greed is part of human nature and indeed... many Minnows would do the same thing.
They either lack the balls to do it or the knowledge.
I cannot accept greed from myself because it is against my value system.
Can't be a honorable man if you deceive and piss on the people that support you.
Yeah, being a witness is definitely not being based on merit... Lots of people, small and big just want a free lunch here and they don't care if that harms the community as a whole or STEEM in the long run. The only witness I am currently voting for in the to 20 is @Curie, the rest is outside the top 20, half is outside the top 50. I believe fresh blood among the witnesses would be a good thing and some of them seem that just collect a shit ton of STEEM for doing not much. Just voted for you as well.
I have been here less than year, so I am still hopeful Steem can reach its full potential before greedy bastards kill it...
Thank you very much for your vote Vander.
They won't kill it, Alphamemes will be working soon! 👍
The only witness that hands out free red pills with every witness update. Oh Great One, if only I could change my steem vote button into a red up arrow instead of a blue one, perhaps it would symbolically add less to the delusion we contribute our efforts towards.
I'm always kidding around. Thanks for the honest words.
Truth is one of my core values, I wrote about my core values 5 months ago.

Thank you very much for your support CT! 👍
Hi sir i am from turkey. I discovered your steemschool.net and that is rwally amazing. I want to translate your "episodes" menu into turkish. Could you give me permission and support?
Support no as I have no time for that, but you can translate them into turkish if you want.
Ok. Thanx for that
but its nice to have u kick up some dust. there :)
Thank you NB.
I would love to know how much $ do the whales sell their witness votes for...
If we had a downvote witness button where minnows could "decrease" the amount the whales upvotes are worth would be awesome, for example i would downvote a top 20 witness and that would make the upvotes worth less %, so in this system the whale upvotes would only be 100% to the ones that the community (minnows) included deem worthy.
Imagine, 100 people downvote a certain witness, instead of the whale witness upvote be worth 100% of their voting power it would only be worth 95% for example (spitting out random numbers but i think you can understand my point)
This would make minnows have more power in the democratic system that steem should be
Like the idea bro, but that won't happen, I have read somewhere that Ned planned to make everyone have 1 vote instead of 30, I doubt he will do that tho.
@valorforfreedom bro whats its mean witness is it to i become a witness if it is possible whats the use??
