Unless you are a top 20 witness and you understand the account claim parameters, you cannot do much.
If you are a user with millions of SP claiming accounts, you could stop and hope no one else starts and the cost of claiming goes down for steemit, but that seems like a shit choice imo. I wouldn't take that path unless steemit admits publicly that the account claim system would be best if it was only used by them. They won't make that admission of failure on how the system was marketed.
There should be no reason people have to quit claiming tokens if the system is properly configured.
I would argue it should be a pool in fact... everyone claiming should not own it, but instead give it away to a pool. Then depending on how much you "vote" / "stake" on it... you can get some back.
This would generate a new "economy" around it. Making it more sustainable. And if gamed by either who "does not claim and bets on it" or who "claims but does not care"... it would be harmonized by the demand/offer weight market. Everyone could suddenly have a much more "fair" stake at RC for account creation.
But I agree that making everyone understanding the parameters will be something hard to explain. Maybe my solution would alleviate being worth to explain it at that large extent.
