Delegation is in the code. SBD is in the code. Trading delegation for SBD is a Free Market Activity. I don't tell a user what to do with his Bitcoin. I see no need to dictate what a user of the STEEM network decides to with his Mined, Earned, or Bought stake.
I'm not interested in telling anyone what to do, except leave me alone if they're bothering me, but I often hear that 'it's in the code' refrain, so I'll point out that if the code doesn't allow it, then 'it's not in the code' will be equally valid.
Also, unlike BTC, or any other crypto, Steem is spawned by a social media platform, and societies have needs beyond economic. Steem therefore has to be different than other cryptos.
I'll not bore you with my spiel, as you dont wanna hear it, but I reckon the points I've made are valid, as is this one: of the accounts opened in 2016, but ~11% remain active - including all the bots, and multiples.
There have been around ~450k accounts created on Steemit, and there are about ~10k active posters, per @arcange, today.
@littleboy isn't wrong to call attention to the problem. Content creators are the engine that drives the use case for Steem. If the platform collapses, the use case blows away, along with the value of investments in Steem.

Food for thought, I hope.
Downvote is also in the code.
Sounds like a way to create a Black Market in Delegation.
