DO NOT PICK ME, as I am not voting for hardly anyone right now, due to the fact it is nearly impossible to tell who is for which changes and how they plan to communicate that to the community. The decision-making process is also murky. I have a lack of confidence at this time in the entire process.
Maybe they can add a place to pencil in none of the above.
Seriously. But in defense of the witnesses there seems to be some wide held belief that if you don't do what steemit, inc wants, you will lose the Freedom vote.
I'm not saying that is true or fair, but it is a widely held (not universal) view.
Yes, this is a belief I too hold.
