@timcliff often updates us on the activities of the witnesses every week to keep us abreast. You can check his blog for more info.
In my point of view I think it's just a few of them that are actually working . We have the likes of @gtg, @blockbrothers, @steemgigs owned by @surpassinggoogle, @dragosruoa , @teamsteem, and some other few witnesses .
I wonder what the rest are actually up to though.
But what are the ones you mentioned actually doing to better Steemit, that's the question?
I think they are trying to aid small account with good qualities to grow. Some help with resteems to aid visibilities of some posts
That is not their purpose, their purpose is to propose changes, or hear other complaints for change, put them up for vote, vote, then make the change or not make it depending on the outcome of the vote.
Oh, okay. If thats the case then maybe they are not doing enough just as you said. But its a big community, implementation of ideas might take time
Well, they need to show us something, and if it takes time then so be it.
Actually when you read their updates you will get to know. They keeps the nodes running (whatever that means) and to do that , you need some funds which they donout of their own pockets.
I might not have all the details there but somehow I think they are the reason why steemit is here and standing, else there will be no steemit.
Well that's fine, but now they have to make the platform better, so that even more people will use it.
