I noticed that change a few days back when Pharesim announced he was over and out.

I think it's a good thing to have 100 listed and visible. That said, most people still don't know squat about what a "witness" is. Which is sort of a problem.

Actually (just my opinion) one of our biggest problems is that the Steemit front end stinks rather heavily of being "developer created FOR developers." It's shades of the very early Internet, where the nerds were very covetous of "their" invention and wanted to (secretly) keep it as shrouded in technical jargon as possible to keep "Susie Housewife" from getting online.

OK, maybe that's an exaggeration, but we really need to "de-technify" a bunch of this stuff if this place it to EVERY gain something that even resembles a mainstream following.

As far a witness listings go, seems to me that top-100 listing might include a small space for each witness (maybe 250 or 500 characters) to write a micro bio of why someone should vote for them.
