yes, I tend to at least scan-read most any post that makes it on trending or hot page related to a suggestion or attempt for improving steem in some fashion. Seems like a commendable way to try to delegate a moderate amount of Steem. But I don't see any method like that impacting curation results of the blockchain without changes to the code itself.

Not even if there were an order of magnitude more delegates?

The median payout is dismal. These moderate delegations deliver from ten to fifty times the median payout in one vote.

1000 such delegations would potentially reach 10k authors. With only ~20k posts a day, that's significant reach.

Thanks!
