RE: Trying to stay as a Consensus Witness without the @blocktrades or @pumpkin votes
I'm worried because those votes are likely removed for a reason, and knowing that @aggroed it's doing a great job in here it's suspicious that attitude against him. Looks like you have pissed off someone very important.
I don't think he's pissed anyone off. Pumpkin vote did something similar with GTG if i'm not mistaken. I think he just frees up his vote from a person in the top position knowing they'll still be in the top 20 anyway. Then he gets to help someone else. Pretty smart in my opinion. Aggroed is still in top 20 ... he wasn't for a few hours but now he is. If anything it was a really really great move as it gave much more awareness to the voting system and that's the way to release his centralization of power by getting more people involved and now there's a witness that is there without pumpkins vote that means we're going in the right direction.
It's possible, but I'm just reading tea leaves. I've never had any direct interaction with Freedom.
The only thing i can think is that right before he changed his vote I said nice things about Steemit. maybe he's pissed he went from the $12M miner to the $3M miner and thinks steemit is entirely to blame.
But I don't know. it's reading tea leaves and guesswork.
There aren't that many people "I've pissed off" here. Certainly plenty disagree with me on stuff, and for sure there are some that are pissed at me, but... I've done a lot of stuff to help a lot of people. I think that adds up over time.
The great news is all the support and recognition you have from the community, you know now that when you help so many people as you did they return you the favour when it's needed, my statement was an assumption of course.
I hope that you keep being top20 witness without more inconvenients.

Yep! I agree! that sounds pretty reasonable. 👌

Elemental my friend! of course 'that' has a lot to do with what happened.
Oh yes mate, you did it. Specifically when you didn't read nor upvoted, nor commented a single word on what 'he' posted and said here. };)
Holy cow. I do not know much about you witness guys, but at least I thought you knew each other.
This is the reason I am working hard on twitter these days to try to get new people and new money in to steem. The concentration of power at the top is the worst part of the whole place for me and I love it here. I only want steem to succeed and I work with little people like me to do our best to make this place grow. I almost never see or hear from any of you big guys and when I do the news is usually bad.
@taskmaster4040 has been posting recently about the "Change In Steem Distribution Levels" showing a bit of trickle down and growth at lower levels. Please let this trend continue and expand.
And maybe this new whale @ben will be good for the place. I hope so.
The one and only reason I voted for you as witness, @aggroed is because my son @bxlphabet met you or knew you from the monster game. He actually asked me how to vote for a witness so he could vote for you so I did the same. He talked about how nice and helpful you were often back then. Other than that, I do not think I have run across you here. I'm not in monsters so I don;t see what you do there.
But now if this unknown freedom (ha!) person took away his vote away from you - I am 100% on your team and go you! I hope freedom takes his vote away from everyone so we can really see what's up.
As far as I know nobody has ever had any direct interaction with @freedom (and if anybody had, he didn't write a word about it).
Nice. Glad we are in his cave then.
Can confirm.
Well done PALnet,Steem Monsters,steem-engine! Votes cast. Good luck...
