RE: # @steem-ua: Announcements, Partnerships and Exciting News!
So when you delegate the small amounts you get the upvote from steem-ua.
250 gets 7 votes.
The quality of those votes depends on your UA score.
Your UA score is dependent on followers, interaction, and an algorithm of which I am only now beginning to understand.
My score is something like 4.2 and my rank is something like 2521.
I believe my rank was a hundred points or so higher yesterday although I could be wrong.
It seems to me though that delegating 250 SP would likely get me a higher ROI then not delegating it.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
Edit: What gets your UA up? Running contests like writing contests?
Edit 2: How do I check other people's UA score?
Edit 3: Shout out to @meno. I'm a helpie too.
My theory is that you can maybe create a math formula, that helps calculating, when delegation can potentially mean more ROI than the "opportunity cost". (e.g. delegating to @smartsteem or @minnowbooster instead)
Of course it has many uncertain, and as such, probability factors, like SteemUA acc voting power/weight fluctuation over time, or UA fluctuation itself, but considering on my own example that an UA of 2 can bring you to the top 25k (at least!) among a million users overall (top 2.5%) (even on 50k daily active users, it's likely a top 50%), I'd say that every delegation above 25SP from an account with >2UA very likely has a higher ROI than not delegating.
@paulag or someone else good at math may do a calculation on it.
What about small steemians with less steem power? anything for them?
They have a "donations" program for low SP users. You will need to contact them on discord: https://discord.gg/rSbXujG
