Thank you for responding as well: I appreciate your understanding.

I suppose it's all understandable to some extent: you are probably not the only person who mostly understood Steem as a social media platform, and didn't understand the importance of the governance aspect of a blockchain-based social media network.

With the creation of Hive, there is more emphasis on the importance of the governance model, and we're still working on improvements to the governance system for the future. The proxy system as it stands today is still a problem, I think, because it does allow someone to lend their weight without necessarily knowing what is being done with it. Hopefully our improvements will remove this problem eventually.
