> The idea is if you get vote support for your witness you will climb the rankings but this is also not correct.

> You will never climb the ranking because the top people vote themselves and between themselves into the oligarchy and you aren’t going to get a slice of their pie.

This is provably false. I started my witness campaign 11 months ago, and new none of the existing witnesses or whales before I started. I worked hard for almost a year now, and now I am one of the top witnesses.
