Actually voted for @chitty as witness too!

Please understand these things are hard for me as a non techie too understand. Just following the people who i trust and do things that feel right.

I am a non-techie as well! Every single witness I have interacted with over this agrees that the HF17 will produce exactly what I am suggesting. The whales control the price of steem - why has it bounced so much today? HF17 for the profits of whales!

Guess im reading some other stories than you,

But please enlighten me on why you believe this HF17 is such a bad thing?

Happily!
Whales can open as many accounts as they like
Use these accounts for posting spam via automated bots (unregulated)
Then they all comment on each others posts and vote on the posts and the comments in an orderly fashion and then get bots to distribute the value of the votes to a huge range of other accounts so that there becomes a hunt for the needle in a haystack.
Then they will say: Look, the distribution has improved ... but it has become more concentric.
It is just a big lie!
