"...nothing has been done except rewriting a few lines of a code."

While the oligarchical control of the blockchain is restored from Sun Yuchen's takeover of Steem, that centralization under one individual is orders of magnitude worse than our present oligarchy.

For four years the present oligarchy has largely resisted censoring dissidents (witness the lack of oppressive flags on this post, for example), while I mistakenly thought Stinc and Hive account@ned hadn't directly undertaken governance, they had withdrawn that direct interference for years prior to the sale to Tron.

Today on Hive the median payout is more than double what the status quo has been recently on Steem. Sure, <$.20 is a small payout, but what that reveals is that most content creators are getting twice on Hive for their posts than what they were on Steem, and if this isn't merely an artifact of transition but a durable paradigm shift, it's a dramatic increase in decentralization of stake, which will affect governance.

It's a massive change, not merely lines of code. More importantly, Steem has been radically centralized and is now totally governed by one person: Sun Yuchen, and that is a terminal cessation of even the paltry decentralization Steem historically enjoyed.

Hive account@arcange publishes daily relevant statistics by which the flow of rewards (which determine how centralized or decentralized Hive is) can be tracked. The anomaly or trend will be revealed by that data, and folks interested will be as informed as they are attentive.

Thanks!
