I agree with you feelings.
Two issues though:
- Do two wrongs make it right? Meaning first a somehow wrong upvote and then the downvote to correct this wrong.
- The original sin is the power distribution. As long as this is not properly addressed and fixed there will always be issues like this one. No matter what you do, try, test, experiment, ...
In Dan's scenario all votes are equal. Here they are not!
I re-read the 4 post you linked from Dan and my mind was blown. I had totally forgot about them but now I remember why I had keep a positive stance toward vote countering.
About the power distribution, those who risk a lot at the start will reap great reward as Steem become ever more successful. If they decide to sell then the distribution become more even.
I enjoy how the coin was initially distributed. It gave chance to anyone who believe in Dan more so than a ICO which would most probably have given a bigger advantage to rich people.
Also in Dan's scenario not all votes are equal.
