If the miner doesn't like the decisions a pool makes, it's a matter of changing one line to point the hashrate elsewhere. Not a democracy indeed, it's anarchy.
Discussion
how do you point your non-kyc or whirlpool btc transaction to another pool if the kyc pools will not process it?
That’s not anarchy neither, but chaos taking hold.
A structural terminal dynamic where order is history.
We were talking about hashrate, not individual txs. You obviously can't point a tx anywhere. Don't freak out. Ocean has like 0.01% of total hashpower, if they don't relay whirlpool tx0, the other 99,8% gladly will.
