Everything will work itself out once we figure out a decentralized reputation system. Centralized rep gets gamed very easily.

Once we have a reputation system that people can trust it will be obvious who is in charge and who is a leech. The people in charge will organize and delegate responsibility.

If finally we get to this moment and realize too many leeches have power on the platform, we can offer an ultimatum: help decentralize the platform or we fork a new one. The new fork would be the same as the old fork, except all the stake from the identified leeches would be drained and redistributed accordingly given the superior rules of the new reputation system.

Even better than a fork: if the reputation system somehow brings together 51% of the platform or more we could simply flag the other 49% into the ground and control 100% of all Steem inflation. I'm not gonna hold my breath on this front.
