Not sure that the proxy vote would solve the issue... I noticed some huge proxy votes on some "influencer" accounts... It's just centralizing the votes, and very rarely, people pick "small Hivians" as a proxy...
So, maybe it's better to NOT VOTE than to GIVE YOUR VOTING RIGHTS to someone that will use it badly... 😃
But, the proxy voting is built in the chain, so it is what it is... :)
What would be interesting to see is downvoting the proposals... like in SPlinterlands... In that way, at the situation what is happening right now, some good proposals wouldn't pay the price for "trade (voting) wars" 😃
"small hiveans" usually don't care much about protecting the protocol. I think the strongest play is to grow in number of orcas that can make up for non-voting small accounts and at the same time counter-balance the voting power of whales.
Yes! Agreed. This needs to be common practice.
