Totally good information here.
How interesting it would be to see if the dynamics of steem / steemit changed if witness voting was changed from weighted to unweighted.
I am guessing the account creation factories would move into overdrive for a while to reassemble the status quo.
With 16 of the top 20 witnesses (and 8 of the next 10 just in case) heavily supported by the mega Freedom for Pumpkins vote, Status Quo is very much the tune we all should be dancing to...
PS Who are the Pumpkins that need their Freedom?
Ya, I have spoken with a couple of Witnesses about my second suggestion, and both stated that unscrupulous folks would just create as many accounts as it took to achieve the same result. So maybe that's only a good idea in theory.
