Since I am an independent journalist, I like to pick witnesses who are somewhat in line with my philosophy, or at the very least ones that are openly anti-censorship.

I also look for witnesses who are trying to help out newcomers and minnows. Also witnesses who have cool projects.

The ones I like most sofar are @ausbitbank, @aggored, @lukestokes, @jrswab, @krnel, @neoxian, @ura-soul, @teamsteem

I still got some research to do into other people though
