So this means that there is still benefit to voting for community witnesses on Steem, since that increases the chance of this type of repetition approach to work.

Yes, that's a good point.
Is there a good guide to how Steem consensus and witness shuffling / selection works?
Found Steem Witness Scheduling Algorithm by @dantheman. Not sure what has changed in the last 4 years since PoW mining was removed.
So did @dantheman foresee this when picking the one from the non-top-20 witnesses?
Soft consensus is not intended to be as air-tight as hard consensus. So it's not surprising this is possible. I believe the fact that it is possible means that DPoS is not as broken as people say it is.
Meaning: Steem is censorship resistant. Soft consensus censorship is not absolute censorship.
