RE: Question for all my followers...
I just double checked, and yep, i already got you on my Witness votes after hearing about YAH awhile back.
I have to wonder if the problem has more to do with the fact that Witness voting is one of the lesser understood and obscure aspects of the STEEM blockchain, and not so much that people are not voting for you based on policy. I must admit, i still do not understand the finer points of witness voting, just the basics.
It's one of those things that is so inconsequential to being able to use the platform and so often ignored by the larger community that new users have VERY little that pushes them to actually learn about the different witnesses, their projects, and their policies.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on that.
That's a whole post on it's own to be certain. And one that many witnesses and users alike have repeatedly made, but perhaps it bears more of the same :)
Witnesses are critical to the whole thing even existing, and as users mature they tend to figure that bit out, then dig in a little deeper, usually their 50ish rep levels they begin to understand enough to make solid and aware witness decisions and to be honest, before that, their votes are pretty unpowerful anyway, usually, though they still add up and lend a voice of support to the witnesses they prefer.
It's a simple and complex topic all at the same time.
