Steem School Episode 66 - How to Gather Votes as a Witness and Why Your Vote Matters!

in steemiteducation •  7 years ago  (edited)

I met most of your requirements. What I recently lack however is time. My wife is having two surgeries and we have no insurance. So I have taken on 2 jobs in addition to running a small web hosting company. Right now it sucks being me as my biggest witness vote @haejin removed his vote and actually voted for witnesses that have not stood with him in the flag wars and @libertyteeth is leaving, powering down his steem. He is leaving steemit after the unending attack on his account by Bernie Sanders. Losing these votes has moved me from 80 to the bottom of the list. My campaign similar to what you described in this proved to be without favorable results. Unfortunately for myself my steemit ROKU app will be on hold until I have funded the doctors healing my wife. I have found for myself the current realm of hi value SP holders tend to only focus on their own elite circle of Whales. The true reward pool rape can be found in their circle of incestuous self voting.
Best of luck.

That is tough news Libertyranger, I actually heard similar stories in the "Pimp Your Post Thursday" podcast on the Steemit Ramble Discord.

Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck to you and your wife.

I can however not quit even tho it seems impossible because of this fucked up whale+witness circle-jerk.

I have to do this and see for myself, I wouldn't even mind making 0 profits as I support the blockchain with this, I just don't want to be stuck in the loss zone.

Well I am not going anywhere. Fortunately for me I can run my witness and seed nodes with no additional cost to me, as long as I don't resell the hardware to a new hosting client. After things get paid off with the Dr's I plan on getting back to my @Dtube ROKU portal programming.

Damn you got your own servers.
You seem to know your stuff and you seem like an honest guy to me.
Gave you my vote.
