Thank you @timcliff for all the efforts your giving to this community. I have just voted for you as a witness. Some quotes I liked from the post, with some comments:
People don't like to play games that they don't feel are possible to win.
Exactly. It is Ok to be hard but not impossible.
I can add more than $10 to a post if I give it a 100% upvote!
I think you deserve more influence. This makes me think that reputation should be a factor in the value of the vote not only SP.
If you want more influence, just buy more SP.
I did :) and I believe this HF will make more people want to buy steem.
It (HF19) has also made the platform seem a lot more fair.
Definitely.
I haven't found myself voting on less posts, just with less strength. Giving a 100% upvote to an epic post is actually kind of fun :)
This a cultural change that most of us need to learn. But keep in mind that minnows do not have vote meter !! So, they only have 4 votes!
A lot of the rewards do keep going to the same authors. At this point, I am happy and honored to be one of them :)
Very much deserved.
Thanks! Great comment :)
One small thing - regarding the minnows, you do have more than 4 votes. You can pretty much vote as many times as you want, it just depletes 2% of your remaining voting power each time, so your votes become worth less. Your voting power replenishes 20% every 24 hours, so it does recharge.
