I have stopped troubling my mind with the witnesses 😆 the one that I know a bit because he used to have struggled to keep it running is steemchiller, so I just set him as my proxy and I trust him to support any witnesses which will useful for steemit.
I dunno whether witnesses proxy is still exist or not, I'm too lazy to choose 😁 especially when there's no name that I'm familiar with. Anyway, I will choose witnesses that helps newcomers in the past and set them as proxy too (before the split up). Now, I trust steemchiller, so I sit back quietly and watch the waves😁
It's not about troubling your mind but knowing what you vote for. You can check and see if you vote at all or just set the #1 or switch everything off.
I never troubled me before (those first years I had no clue who they were or wat they did) but today it's my personal opinion that if I use or like something I should support it.
Can be this is a culture difference or part of how I was raised but with us they say: Alleen voor niets komt de zon op!
(If you want something you have to pay for it, most likely the reason why everyone sees us as the piggy bank).
A great day!

Tbh, I don't use proxy on hive though 🫢 I'll choose the witnesses based on their accountability and contribution to the ecosystem.
I remember our old times when few witnesses involved in politics, i revoke mine and choose small witness like @thekitchenfairy. But now in steemit, I'll chill with steemchiller as proxy.
His witnesses, so.. it's fine with me too
I vote for a part but with a reason and as long as I don't know a reason I don't see any point in voting. I don't like my vote to be abused for something I would never stand for. Thanks for sharing and your trust in the number one.
