I do both. I give STEEM (SP) away daily and in contests via @hive-199189 and the World of Sports community. I also realize that rewards via delegating are not really substantial in smaller amounts, but my power level isn't all that high yet. As my power level goes up, the reward will increase.

1000 SP (delegated) is about an extra .01 per upvote on posts and would help a smaller account for the week (which is its intended purpose). Obviously, no one will get rich with any basic giveaway here on Steemit.

Thanks for sharing!
