Sounds like witnesses have to much power and all users should be able to vote on any changes. Minnow to a whale..... Also we shouldn't have a downvote button. Just a flag but if you flag someone it should only be because of copyright issues. If your flag on someone isn't warranted then you lose your MANA for a month and cant transact nothing......

How the system works is that you elect representatives, i.e. witnesses. You're right that the problem is it's a plutocracy rather than a democracy. Only the very richest will get an influential vote, and most of them will vote for what they think will make themselves richer rather than a better social network. It's plain human nature.
@liberosist Yeah, that's sad. Not over @contestkings and our discord. Were building a community together for all to prosper thru contests and giveaways. We have one requirement to get on the daily whitelist for contests, No upvote, No Resteem, No Follow.... Thanks for the post, I appreciate logical thinking and opinions.....
You can vote on witnesses that represent your interest.
Yup, I'm thinking of taking down the two I voted for because they are getting to cool for their britches..
@yabapmatt and @aggroed are doing everything in their power to make Steem a success because they have got so much to lose if Steem would go belly up; removing their votes isn't making any sense TBH.
I never said that they are not, It's more important to have Witnesses striving for Steem than personal project's. If i ever tried or wanted to be one, that would be my only focus. My opinion, that's part of the problem.
They are striving for Steem.
Looks like we also need a downvote Witness button as well......
I'm not a Witness nor am i trying to be and i only deal with pumpkins at Halloween time....
Oh, ok.....
