> My understanding was that witnesses decide if they will upgrade to a new update or not? So in a way they can veto updates? Yes... but here's the catch: stakeholders can chose to vote in a different set of witnesses that are for the changes that they are supporting. Crucial for the platform is to have stakeholders and witnesses that aim for a common goal: well-being of the platform. That's why I said that most important role of a witness is to be a trusted party, guardian of the consensus and a reliable block producer. I'm focused on my witness role so there's no much time left even for a basic curation efforts not to mention engaging in upvote/downvote politics, especially as it is always subjective evaluation. Legitimate use of SP for ones can be abuse for the others. In the end - it's community who decide. As a fellow user I would love to have much more time for curation efforts, unfortunately that would significantly affect my witness duties.

Thank you - I appreciate you taking the effort to reply and engage with me. I only came on here to as I am lookng at the use case of every coin/token in the top 50 on coinmarket cap. I thought steem sounded awesome as I use twitter a lot and the idea of getting rewarded and no censorship sounded great. But I have less censorship on twitter than here at the moment. I've been flagged to the point where I can't even upload images. That has never happened to me on twitter or facebook. Either I have changed and become some sort of nutter that needs flagging or this platform is too concentrated in the hands of a few. It will be interesting to see how this develops as I know it's very early days yet.

As for uploading, it's not part of Steem, it's part of steemit.com site, there's for example also busy.org (I'm not sure how does it look like out there, i.e. if reputation is a limiter for uploading). Regardless, you can always use 3rd party site to upload your photos to and link to them from your post.

Busy is what I use most of the time and it has the same limitation when your "reputation" drops. I am not a techie, so finding other avenues to upload onto the blockchain is a hurdle too far right now. I am inviting others to join and it's important I understand the pros and cons of the platform
