RE: Getting Witness Votes is Like Pulling Teeth... And Here's Why
That's true man, I think with so many new people joining the platform, lack of understanding is a big reason. I'm sure this will change over time, though.
In the mean time, resteemed, plus you've got my vote. 👍
Thank you @benadapt, I think you're right. When I first got here I didn't understand it either. When I heard the word "witness" I just though.. that doesn't pertain to me. I'm a content creator! Lol. Little did I know that I need the witnesses to create my content. :)
And thanks so much for the witness vote. I really appreciate the support!
Yup - Nothing about this witness thingy on the welcome screen. "Get paid for your good content." But only if you do 100 non-intuitive things at the same time and drop all your other balls.
No other place a content creator goes is as complicated as steemit in my 8 years of doing this. Authors, artists, coaches etc use platforms such as fb, insty, and twitter to make money on their content. Then they get here and get yelled at for not investing and voting for witnesses. Reasons #6 and #14 of why every one of the 20 content creators I brought in here this year are gone - and hate me now too.
I have voted for a few and I removed Jerry before he deleted himself, so it's not like I have not tried to understand what this is. The last witness I talked to about this gave me links so I could learn more. The many hours I have already spent on this over the last year are not good enough.
I know:
I do not know or have ever seen posts by most of these witnesses:
#45 is called steemed ffs.
What kind of knowledge am I supposed to pull out of my butt to make 30 wise choices? I don't vote in real life for that very reason.
Ergh....
