I know exactly why my comment was downvotes; dandy dan is scared!
this article calls for somebody to step up and take over ... I'm that person!
This while there's no need to actually reduce any of the whales steem power, they just need to stop voting ... but catchy slogans pull more attention than rational explanations ;-)
think about it ... imagine that for the next 100 days anybody with more than 100k steem power would vote at max 1% vote power, so they still get to play, but without skewing the results ... what would happen? the votes of the dolphins with 1k to 100k would go up ... significantly, enough so to fix the problem!
so, although I might have said it somewhat crue at first ... the principle behind it, would in fact solve the problem
yet ... dandy dan downvoted it ... no wonder we have a problem ...
