Here is who I have already voted for in the past: https://steemdb.com/@krnel/witness. My votes can be subject to change.

I noticed Fyrst on there already, which is what makes me hesitant. It's no secret that he has been in feuds before ( @stellabelle ) and seeking personal revenge for qeustionable reasons in a very destructive manner ( @heiditravels ). He is not a stable or trustworthy person in my opinion. One second he is dorky and fun, then next he screams and curses (I can personally attest to this).

Money is one thing, but I'm more concerned with users that don't deserve it getting your personal support. You, like Fyrst, are rather influential people on this platform.

I am not a top 19 witness. I don't have a say in any decisions per the witnesses decision making process.

This far, no. But with influence and a platform such as being a witness comes comes more support. More people will consider your support - votes or opinions - for others and you may also very well start to climb on that list.

However, I agree on separating flags from downvote. Better definition of anything is always something I want ;)

I'm always happy to hear that! I would look forward to more work on explaining why the flag should be a separate feature. =)

Only Steemit uses the flag system and I don't think we currently benefit from it. Busy.org team apparently are also looking into introducing the flag as a separate meassure, rather than combining it with the "dislike" button tha they currently have. I'm hoping they will go forward with that.
