For the last 2 hours I've been listening to a few of our Witnesses talk and many others make comments on Discord, during the conversation.
The conversation was born due to 
It really helped me to decide what criteria I want to use for voting for witnesses.
Regardless of the current environment and the challenges are you focused on solutions or pointing at problems?
I am in no way advocating ignoring problems.
I AM advocating, letting me know what you want to do to help things get better.
Your ability to throw rocks at others is interesting, but doesn't add value to my experience or my investment.
I don't vote for 30 witnesses, because I hear them complaining more often than I hear them saying anything about what they can do.
If you answer is that you move the blocks forward... Excellent. Good for you. Right now there are plenty of people willing to do that.
Can you do more? Can you mend fences? Bring Value? Create Code?
"I am powerless to SteemIt Inc", is not a platform to run on in my opinion.
If you can't influence the situation you hold no votable value to me.
PS. My vote doesn't impact things much anyway. I get it.
