Few accounts that virtually controlled steem and now hive. If you migrated to hive because you thought justin was a dictator... well i dont know what to tell you.
How do they control Hive? Do they do the same thing as Jusing here, freezing user funds that they bought (not airdropped) and censoring users on blockchain level?
Go take a look at the wallets of the guys mentioned in this post, add them all up, and see how much stakes they control. Its nice to work under the false premise of equality and freedom while the closed circle that effectively controls the network wine and dine behind the curtains thanking the users for their services.
OK, but how do they control the stake? Do they censor things? Freeze multiple users accounts? Upvote and downvote for $300+? Choose all witnesses with vote from single account? And all those things because single person said so?
I dont know if you are asking real questions or being snarky, but i ll bite. Hive guys have a de facto control over the witnesses just like justin does here. They are just more subtle about it. It's "fine" because the system works but its not any more decentralized than steem.
