The number of accounts voting for witnesses is irrelevant. What matters is the stake (aka "Steem Power") behind the votes.

Again, UA is fat better at predicting witness quality as well.

So basically one user with a ton of steem power can nominate himself as witness and hurt the platform and no one can do anything about it?

One bad witness can't hurt the platform. The job of a witness is to sign blocks and to approve software upgrades (forks).  If a witness does not do what he is supposed to do then he/she is kicked out from the top spots or is left running a version of the software that is incompatible with the one used by the rest of the witnesses and by doing so is no longer part of the blockchain. 

It takes 2/3 of the top witnesses to enforce consensus rules. Even is someone with a big stake does bad things socially, he still needs to behave **as a witness** and do useful work for the platform.

One "bad whale" is not an issue if the "good whales" counteract his or her social "mis-behavior".

This is good to know. However, this still requires the witnesses to be active and somehow cooperate in some form of moderation and enforcement of consensus rules. So the question is - do they? And how can we tell, aside from state of the witness posts?

This past week, with all that's been happening, just made steemit more fascinating to me as an Internet culture researcher. 

I still have a lot of questions unanswered, like what can be done about illegal content on the blockchain. What happens if someone posts child porn, for example? How does the blockchain deal with THAT?
