Maybe I should outvote him with the thousands of accounts I have left over from mining. Or perhaps I should power down my stake and use it to create 500 000 new accounts (though fear not, I can "only" do this at a rate of 5000 per week).

Does this make any sense? The answer is no.

It is time to recognize that 'vote count' is an obsolete and unworkable concept that is a hold over from previous inferior systems such as Reddit. We don't need it and will be better off without it.
