I don't have a fraction of the stake that was owned by Steemit and Ned

Sorry, that's not what I was trying to say there (or really compare you to Ned - that was just all bad, my apologies.)

My point was that you and your team are (afaik) doing the vast majority of the actual Hive (not L2/sidechain) development, correct?

If I'm not mistaken, there are currently 5 (out of 14) funded proposals that you aren't supporting, and 100% of the non-funded proposals you aren't supporting.

It looks like your vote is more than 50% of the return proposal's support as well.

The funded proposals have a high ~43M HP voting for them, and you vote with 15M.

That's more than a third of the peak (don't know what % of the total) HP that votes on proposals.

TCMD votes with a little over 5M (so he's down closer to 11% of the peak), and there's a few folks with 1-3 million.

Not trying to attack you specifically/personally, you just happen to have the biggest voting stake around for this stuff, and if we're talking about centralization of stake at the moment.

Obviously, just as in the case of witnesses, getting more people to vote with their stake (never mind staking more), and be more active about adjusting their votes, is one of the big changes that can be made.
