RE: [Witnesses Exposed] What Have Witnesses Done For us This Week? Third Edition
Thanks for doing this series, guys. I know it can be controversial and rub some people the wrong way, but it's a service to the community for you to get and organize this information + inform us what our representatives are doing. (Actually, I think of them more as trustees than representatives.)
I have tried to become better educated about the witnesses and yet my understanding is still very limited.
Some witnesses are working on development that is essential or quite helpful to the platform. Others are using their income to improve Steemit in other ways or to promote it. It is nice to have frequent updates like this, though I certainly think that some witnesses are working on longer term initiatives (or even secretive projects) that may not show measurable public progress in a short period of time.
Please keep an eye on their work over time rather than just deciding to support someone based on one week's report. And make sure you vote on witnesses!
yep...just do what you are good at.... And you are DAMN good at what you do best - writing!

Thanks for the compliment. But I am not a witness, merely an average Steemit user. However, I got in early enough that I have a good chunk of SP and people who follow my writing, so that brings up another point: perhaps not just witnesses, but also whales, have an obligation to help build Steemit. Since whales are not receiving "public" income from the system (as witnesses do), there is no expectation of them giving back, but I still think if whales want to see the system grow and work effectively they/we should help make that happen. What I like to do is help newbies and help other writers, plus a little promotion.
That is another awesome post! I love this series. You have my upvote. The amount of work you guys put into these post is very incredible. Keep on the good work!
