Thanks for this post. I have pretty much ditched SteemIt.com after the last interface revamp (it looked like a downgrade to me). I have mostly used Busy.org and eSteem and when these two fail, I turn to SteemPeak.com.

Nevertheless, yesterday I had some trouble with all of them. Looks like things aren't so decentralised as we think. But we're heading there...

About the witnesses, I find it very important that people vote accordingly to the work that Witnesses do on the platform, but also take a time to check the comments made by the Witnesses, because as some of us know, some Witnesses seem to be pretty cool for the projects they support but if you check their comments, you'll see that they are arrogant, condescending and even rude to nearly everyone who dares to think different.

Personally, I cannot support a Witness that helps some people while attacking a lot of others at the same time. Consistency is the key, for me. And moral integrity.
