The thing that surprises me the most is that people were seemingly ok with a player having any large percentage of the network power. The new development seems to be that one player is verifiably controlling 51% of the market. This doesn't mean that two pools who each had 30% couldn't have colluded outside of the network to control it beforehand. I've seen people trying to persuade people not to join the most popular pool but this seems like a more fundamental problem.
