@sapphic you and @underground will always have my Witness vote because you do so much for people, and give so much without ever once asking for anything back - you both deserve a great deal more recognition then you get.
Also @sapphic as a Witness you are exceptionally good at what I consider being essential of a Witness - keeping the Steemd software updated to the latest version. It really annoys me to look through https://steemian.info/witnesses Witness list and see so many still running older versions, there are positions 40 and 43 running 20.5 3 weeks after 20.6 was released? That's more than enough time to update, and part of the problem is simply we have no mechanism in place to stop block production after a period of time - people don't update because they can still earn on the old software. But that makes me question what values they bring to Steem Blockchain - and why people keep supporting them with votes when obviously they have little regard to move it forward.
I'm preaching to the converted of course, I would love to see you move much higher and achieve your goals - well just cover your costs, that would be a start.
