I don't vote for witnesses in the top 20 purely because as a new user, the site looks sh*t and as far as I am concerned, these people have let it happen.
They have rewarded all types of bad behaviour and at the same time seem to think their only job is to provide a successful block producing server.
I am always looking at new witnesses who engage with the community and are being innovative.
Steem needs new blood or else it will be dead in the water.
The fact that the beast of steemit can go around flagging minnows and destroy their accounts in retaliation without a peep from any of the witnesses was a major concern for me.
The reality is, something better will come along and of steemit doesn't shape up soon, people will go elsewhere.
Yes, it will take 13 weeks to power down, but that's just enough time for Crypto to bounce back up and for me to dump all my stake.
I am still in two minds as I have seen some really cool people doing interesting things here.
But steem in its current state is just not good enough for mass adoption.
