RE: How You Can Make A STEEMIT Difference

I doubt it ... but ok.

There are already tons of articles about witnesses. Those who find out about witnesses from @socky get, at the same time, the message that they should NOT vote but only "promise" to vote ... To me that sounds less than worthless, it sounds countereffectual.

Look no further, he "shows the way": the VERY FIRST witness of steem, @gtg, came and left a comment on his blog! I don't know but if I were him I would feel honored and immediately cast a vote for @gtg knowing it's a safe vote and has anyway just a symbolic value.

It's about showing respect for the ethos of the community

But no, he answers and upvotes your comment but keeps 29 witness slots unused - right after explaining in the post that it would have costed him nothing to have upvoted you ...

So yeah, maybe others will take time and read ... and potentially conclude that they should WITHDRAW the witness votes already casted in order to replace them with a PROMISE that they'll vote at a later time, perhaps, if the time is right and if the witnesses PROVE that they were instrumental in a new listing of steem ... how does that sound?
