I appreciate what you've been trying to do with these reports... I suppose I hoped your posts would create a little more awareness (and perhaps they have) but to answer your question in a roundabout way... I fear we may have a little Catch-22 going here.

Information on the importance of witnesses mostly needs to reach minnows... who know little about the underpinnings of Steemit, so the logical thing would be to proxy. Except... how do you know who to trust with your proxy, about something you know little about?

If I were in your shoes, I'd cut back these reports to monthly and use the other three weeks to simply cycle through a series of different "why witnesses are important posts," and tag them not only with #witness-category... but also with MinnowSupport (and similar) because that's where the info needs to go. Off topic? Not exactly... it's minnow education. With the sheer number of newcomers, once you have maybe six posts, you could just recycle them indefinitely and new people would see them.

Just a thought.
