This is...sad and unfortunate. Look, Cardano chose to play politics. Invented their own and implemented it. Was completely unnecessary...Good luck trying to shake the power structures you didn't have to craete.
The more I think about it, the more I feel something like an annual DRep voting power complete reset should happen on Cardano after a budget cycle.
This would then
- Ensure users re-evaluate their choices annually.
- Auto-correct occurrences where wallets like Yoroi effectively take voting power without telling the user.
- Make DReps campaign harder.
- Decentralize overall voting power.
- Make governance more competitive.
- Reduce collusion opportunities.
- Contribute towards on-chain transactions.
- Improve governance.
