Actually I believe that no one ever had that power, since he is using rancho which basically gave him a lot of SP to use. I understand the idea that everybody is able to do what he wants with his stake, but currently this is an example of Steem becoming centralized around a single man, which is breaking the philosophy of blockchain. I wonded... can anybody do anything about it now?
Under current system its just a massive up hill battle. Linear-rewards system needs to go. To be replaced by what and how to make it happen I don't have slightest idea.
Logarithmic rewards maybe :) Well,I don't know if the problem is at how the blockchain is designed of if it just the greed of people which speaks. I guess we should change the people and how they act as a community, not the way the blockchain is designed in order to prevent abusers from manifesting their greed.
Something needs to be done, where are Steemit, do they realise what's happening to their system?
@ned doesn't care. He thinks it's great for traffic!
it's funny that dan would just say, n^2 curve was meant to combat such cases...
The system is perfect
Its just the users are flawed
