RE: Is DPoS Just a Popularity Contest?
This recent addition from Steempeak may help which allows witnesses to add a bit of text to describe what they do: https://steempeak.com/me/tools/witnesses
You bring up a good point though... if we meet people in person, we naturally feel more connected to them and can therefore trust them more. A witness is a position of trust. It seems the voting does shift towards those who are more available to connect as real people which might explain why my ranking got so high as number 2.
Wow, that link is literally exactly what I was talking about. Thank you.
We may be in a digital age, but physical connections still trump the highest speeds of digital transfers.
