There are a few main sources exactly. There is not enough high Stake holders for a 50/50 system. The leverage is already concentrated. The majority is content creators. Not a few select Stake holders. That will say any change would only favour a minority. Not the majority of content creators.

Currently @nathanmars is the person that has done the most to empower people after @misterdelegation

Empower 1000 accounts with 10,000 SP each would only take 10 million SP. But it's up to Steemit Inc how they want to do all of that. But 1000 real content creators would move waters. You have a middle class fixed instantly with that. STEEM sitting idle is an opportunity cost.

The more hands it's in the more upvotes --> The more it will make moves in the whole Internet. 1000 empowered creators. Leverage content creators is the biggest leverage you can have. Individual high level stake holders can never do this. Needs to come from higher ups.

In end it comes down to get STEEM into people that are the best to leverage it into higher possibilities with proof-of-brain. And not all are the same in their skills to leverage stuff. Some people can make 1 million people to follow them. So some are amazing at leverage. Others not.
