RE: Whitepaper Discussion on Voting Abuse
When Ned delegated his SP to help propel a few crabs out of the bucket he also effectively repelled new, better crabs from said bucket. Those crabs could've gotten the bucket mainstream acceptance but as they were repelled, the remaining crabs will never benefit from their addition. Instead they'll continue to sit in their bucket chat answering the same questions over and over from the little crablets that somehow fell in.
While I am not a ned hater, I have no idea why he doesn't realize this is a problem. It isn't just the trending page, it is also the witness votes and there is no way to pretend we are "decentralized" with this going on.
I don't dislike Ned or have any issue with his contribution to blockchain projects aka Steemit. The SP delegation is the one great issue, perhaps the greatest issue, that's holding the platform back. Look at @paulag's statistics here and a few previous pulls. How is a big crab, let's say from the music industry as that's my background, supposed to willingly enter this bucket when Ned already decided which crabs will be eaten and which will make it.
