You have written so well about delegation, its merits and demerits. Truly, delegation helps us to stake our Steem through consistent power up because they more your SP the more your upvotes. I support the motion that quality articles which has less upvote should be supported as well as it will also encourage the users despite their delegation. To me delegation makes users Stake more of their Steem which helps to reduce the circulation in the exchanges and that helps to push the price upward.
