@teamsteem, I do not know if you will read this comment or not, because you are a busy person and as of this writing this post shows 434 comments already. I am new user, so even if I upvote this with my 100% power it won't be very visible. With that said let me first thank you for a few iterms:
- Your comment on post quality
- Your own voting and commenting principles
- List of several useful steemit tools, many of which I have used already
Now let me make some comments based on you seeking vote for witness. Even if I am very new to this ecosystem, I see several endemic problems to this platform, and perhaps a person like you may have a comment or two about:
- I learned that very few people actually use their allocated 50 votes for witness, I have used 2 so far. What can be done to change that?
- The reward pool is geared such that it is very hard for new users to be visible. How that can be improved?
- You must agree that all 600,000 people are not content creators, a lot of them are here for money by creating spam, and plagiarism; how to minimize that?
- What is a fair reward? How to minimize flag wars?
- I have seen a "whale" post a single random photo or comment and get away with 100s of dollars worth of upvote. How is this fair?
If you have a way to address at least some of these issues, you have my vote.
