That's great feedback, thankyou. DPOS is interesting in that while it causes a situation where people can feel upset at the weighting by stake - at the same time it gives us a variety of potential applications for promoting action in the community. The stake weighted aspect does open the door problems within the process but there are ways around that, such as the Crowd Facts community choosing to create a layer 2 token for itself and then choosing to fork itself to a new layer 2 token in the event that bad actors gain control. We don't see this process happen much due to the immaturity of the development level of the code that runs Hive and layer 2 tokens, but we expect this to be the accepted way for projects to self govern and to remain free from unwanted control by large stakeholders over time.
I can imagine that new people who are completely unexperienced with Hive and decentralization as a whole would have some problems understanding this, yes! In time we will have more and more examples, a library and software tools to help new people to quickly grasp what the project is about.
