Democracy makes the site even more vulnerable to SJW takeovers. There's 83,000 readers on eddit SRS, if even 1% of those people made accounts here they could easily steal any small sub on this site if ownership were based on majority vote.
The current system is not perfect, and it sucks when a sub owner goes inactive or is compromised, but it's miles better than mob rule. Especially on the internet where anyone can fake a mob.
