Heh... the communists love to sell that we are equal. What this really is, is the aspects of capitalism that the communists love to use as examples when trying to convince people capitalism is bad and communism is good.
Yet this is the worst aspects because here once you have a monopoly on power there is NO way short of someone spending a lot of money for them to ever get that much power and because spending that money would make the other stake holders wealthier they could spend the profit to make themselves even more powerful.
The curation rewards are divided based upon time of vote as well as voting power. So the more powerful voters give the most rewards yet they also get the most reward from curation.
This is not bad other than it makes it so anyone that was in the right place at the right time basically became royalty and just like bloodlines you will never be part of that royalty.
There are good things in Hive. There are also some quite bad things.

There are flaws in the code, and thus the laws here. I didn't know how to fix them.
I think this jury model from Algorand that @logiczombie is the only thing that I've heard of that might do that.
Yet the power always being the most powerful. I don't see any voluntary way that will ever be solved.
They were in the right place at the right time to become gods in this little digital world.
