It seems like you are always diving into topics that I am curious about, in relation to Steemit! I believe I read over 1 article in my 2 weeks that was about the witness process. I was aware that they receive compensation, and from what I now know about what the witnesses contribute to the site, it's completely just. I appreciate you going over the stats our "participate" in the voting process, as well. I will definitely be submitting a few votes and remembering to eventually cast all my votes as I become more acclimated to the platform as a whole. Overall, thanks for another great article!
