I thought I had remained rather emotionally detached from the issue, I know i'm not a very good writer so perhaps it appears emotionally charged. I should clarify that i'm not an anti @haejin supporter, in fact i disapprove of members colluding together to downvote an individual account because it's too successful. I did mention it seemed incredibly unprofessional that @dan would wade into that too as the creator but i'm starting to wonder if he is the creator anymore or only by name. As in do we judge him for his actions harsher because he is the creator or is he downvoting because he no longer holds the power of the creator and shouldn't be held to higher standards.
I am not at all outraged that @haejin is making 7% of the daily rewards good on him for mastering the system, somebody had to do it. My concern is the future of steemit, in decades to come if a collective of organised accounts should ever reach 51% in theory they could post the letter a 20 times a day and still generate over half of the reward pool meaning that their lead will just continue without them producing any content. Also should it ever get that far. it's also safe to say the witness program would be theirs to control as well.
You cannot simultaneously tell me that you want people to be able to use steem power as a form of marketing to get global reach on the platform and that H-dude is making too much money because he effectively has a massive amount of SP backing directing rewards from the daily reward pool to him.
Those cannot be simultaneously true. One of them must be false.
I see no reason steem power cannot be a form of marketing with a daily reward pool cap based on the volume of active users to make sure the reward pool doesn't end up almost entirely in a handful of wallets. Physical companies will in a sense be paying for marketing as their steem power will not be generating as much reward as it could but they will not be restricted from posting or trending it would not lower their weight of their posts merely the reward after a certain limit.
That said even this idea still has holes as money can be divided across 20 accounts equally with each account making 1 post and upvoting each of the other 19 accounts posts. Extending the power of a large volume of steem by 20x the market cap. Thankfully for both of us i suppose that it's not up to me to fix this problem.
