Yeah I understand your points.
My angle is from a slightly frustrated newer witness, who is on the lookout for accounts interested in our approach.
Whilst some of the accounts not voting are likely Steemit owned, and passive investors waiting for the herd, I do see some accounts interacting with votes - these ones i'm a little confused by. It's a bit like taking out, but not putting in - especially when the votes are focused on few accounts, some of them witnesses.
Cheers for the perspective.
