I don't see how joining Ethereum is a solution.

I have brought three active users (two very long-term) to the chain since I started. Not a huge success, but progress. I seek out bloggers to support with my votes. I downvote copy/paste spam when I find it. All of these kinds of activities are beneficialto he community as a whole and to me individually.

The DPoS model does give disproportionate power to whales. I have been disappointed in some of the actions taken by large stake holders with vendettas, and Curangel has even been a part of this problem. However, none of this is resolved by linking to another chain.
