Can you consider considering to look into something like 5 sock puppets controlled by elected winners of a popular vote? Popular vote means scientifically determined individuals (like using civic or something). An election once a year or whatever. Can be voted for by the Steemit pubically community-owned Steem and any exchange that wants to power up (they can't do anything but slave to support popular witnesses).. uhh i'll explain in post later.
