RE: Changing the witness voting system by introducing witness downvotes? Could this work?

I've read lots and lots of your posts. Probably more than I've read novels lately. If someone asked me who my most read author is, it would be @tarazkp

These are from mid and late 2018:

I haven't read them in full for years.... but there is likely some ideas and links to more that might help.

Here I go reading more of your stuff. We tend to agree for the most part on the principle,and its amusing that blocktrades predicted a coercion scenario in one of your post replies. Exactly what's happening now.

If we had downvote power to say "no" to the crony witnesses currently elected, this whole chapter of drama would've been over as soon as people realised what was happening

Yes, we discussed it. Many others didn't agree with us as it was too far fetched. Where would someone get so much Steem?...

I think the much lower number of votes would be enough. Downvotes annoy many people, when there is 11% of the pool in play for 20 accounts, it might et very messy.

Now is pretty messy :D

I've got a full day of work meetings to go and "enjoy". Signing off for now, keen to see what will change in eight hours time. :D
