just fork

This is an option, but it will be near impossible to stop the sock puppets already in place from not screwing with the distribution there, too.
But, IF you had a whitelist of who to airdrop, it could work, and may become the inevitability in the hive.
People don't like having masters.

I mean, you could cut the top 200 accounts, but many of them hide the rest of their stake in sock puppets and exchanges in order to downplay exactly how centralized power is in the hive.
50m to be a player, not the player, a player.

It's all garbage anyway so why dictate a particular medium has to be excluded?

Because 10 years of forcing this onto the crowd gathers a lot of inertia.
It's also to provide a space for real people that doesn't get botted even in the content.
You were here for what justifies how much this crowd hates bots.

Get out and meet some folks in the crowd, eh?
Maybe one of them has some sway with baw.

Nobody is reading your crap, they are too busy trying to get their own crap read.
When we can get what you put out anywhere on the web, it lacks scarcity.
Why bloat the chain with some crap posts one can read anywhere?
