At one point, haejin was controling 6% of the steem-power. Isn't that their right?
Doesn't their purchase of steem indirectly benefit everyone holding steem?

no, he wasn't. 6% of the stake would be 12 million.
And, his stake wasn't earned, it was paid for (I suspect) and then used to drain the pool 10x a day. No one downvoted at the time because it was deemed too expensive, and the bidbots had a lot to lose if the did.
Isn't all stake "paid for"?
How were they draining 6% of the pool without a 6% stake?
With their upvotes? or by some other mechanism?
people were front running for curation rewards.
Can't they still do this?
Why not just flatten the rewards (remove the timing bonus from upvotes)?
Or better yet, incentivize voting for the newbz?
To encourage large voters to vote at 0 minutes on themselves like they were?
To feed alt accounts, like some people do?
How would removing all timing bonuses "encourage" anyone to vote at 0 minutes?
which timing do you mean? the 5 minutes? or the order at which votes come in?
If you mean the 5 minutes, large voters will just vote at zero as there is no penalty.
If you mean having static rewards based on stake, the large voters will likely earn more than they do now as currently they lose some to the frontrunners.
Perhaps there could be some criteria, like a Voight-Kampff test for the accounts to try and mitigate the sock-puppet "problem"?
Not a "captcha" or a "10 posts + 10 comments" or anything that crude.
Perhaps there's already some "good steemian citizen" list somewhere?

Perhaps they can give fingerprints and government issued ID?
