Of course the current Top20 don´t want to change to a Top 30 or 40 scheme, because their passive income then would go down significantly!
And no, Hive isn´t really decentralized, check out how many Hive the top 10 hold! At least better then with many other chains.

Yes. That's what I was getting at although I don't like to be so direct for fear of the downvote mob. 😂 I wasn't aware of the physical implications of more witnesses though although how much the chain would actually slow down if there was a top 100 v 20 I have no idea.
If the top 100 would get votes like the top 20 now, that would probably be not so good, as further down witnesses (including myself) have no backup server yet (that would double the costs). But there could be a better way than now, here is the current reward distribution:
Definitely looks like there could be a better way. Intuitively you would think that best would be a curve that sloped gradually from left to right. Or at least had much less of a drop off after the first 20. But, as you say, there's not much appetite to change it.
