The power to shape discourse should not rest in the hands of a few — especially not when that power was amassed through means that contradict the very spirit of decentralization. Whales who earned their Hive Power by selling votes on Steemit now wield disproportionate influence over narratives, rewards, and visibility. That power, compounded by DHF allocations, is being used not to uplift, but to suppress. And it is being wasted — squandered on vanity, control, and silence.

This cannot stand.
