@dkkarolien well done! Here is a fine example of a relatively new steemian that has all the right stuff! Engaging, clearly creative with a dash of the old tongue n cheek style I find refreshing.

I hope to see more of this delegation motivation gaining momentum. With no strings or expectations attached, and especially with the inevitability of the big bad HF21 on the horizon these offerings will be great for steem. I think the impact delegations will have for smaller accounts and the entire ecosystem has not been fully realised.

After 8 months I've accumulated less than 10 sp from my "curating" and this was helped by delegations, some of which I'm still grateful to have. However, with the opportunity to earn 50% the potential for accelerated growth in the lower and middle ranks is finally a reality. Most of the always powering up, organic, new class (post HF20) such as myself have accomplished what we have on the backs of engagement and manually curating content that speaks to us and inspires us to speak back.

I have voluntarily flung myself down the rabbit hole of steemecon and am on and off chain discussing all aspects of our ever evolving ecosystem day and night. I spend hours a day on discord in various communities or having dm's that are often mostly recreational and for the sake of levity but also always end up centered around enriching this little experiment we call steeming. Wouldn't it be great if we did more of that here?

I'm no cheerleader but I'm also not going to shit on something I see having great potential just because we're ALL experiencing growing pains. This is getting long winded so I'll close by saying I'm not one to ask for anything, but I wouldn't be upset if I had a bit more steem juice in my sippy cup either.

And more than any personal aspirations I'm happy to see this cut and dry very honest approach to doing what you can to improve all of our investments by delegating to active and engaged accounts.. Peace! And to the recipients spread the love!
