I think you're not wrong, and it's going to feel for these first few days especially because the very first people voting were smashing them votes and were really making waves in the pond, if you will. Decimal precision is up and coming next, very shortly.

One thing that I like to point out is that even with coming changes to better tune this week old system, there will be earning methods that require no previous stake and some of which will also be nerfed for team members (like chatting in the discord, commenting on posts, and other options), and that your initial inclusion in the claimdrop allows you to plan what you want to do with your PAL. You have the power to earn and double dip, freely given to you, and a much better overall distribution to start within. Better yet, you need to do absolutely nothing different to be able to get multiple token rewards and to open new avenues to you. You are now in the position that you could do everything exactly the same today, but end up with additional resources yourself, at a greater rate and in an additional token than you did yesterday.

We've talked enough that I actually agree with most of your points, but am also pretty stoked on ways that are already going out to help balance issues that are being felt. If the biggest problem we have to solve is that people are so excited about the project that they want to be big, we have a HUGE and important job to do... but also a joyful and motivated one. I am especially excited to see our curation initiative start taking the lead more than the existing 'whale' types will given some changes made in the last day or two around it. What I can tell you is that where you are today has the potential to put you in a better position than yesterday, and what you decide to do with it is your choice. That bit of control and that bit of opportunity matter, I think. I know you know that and I offer that not as a counter to what you are saying, but as a base for all of us to build off of.
I appreciate you not apologizing too much at the end~

As per another conversation, I can't confirm that there may or may not be a PAL-type-world in the works...
