Perhaps I understood the question differently from most, I had understood delegating without receiving anything tangible in return just to help as you usually do.
In the case of receiving tokens in return, it's always beneficial because there are projects that pay very generously, my HPs for example I currently delegate to leo.voter, nexo.voter and zingtoken .
But in the case of delegating without receiving something tangible immediately I believe I'm on the way but I'm still not big enough to benefit the network more than hinder my growth. In this case I try to compensate by helping the network with monthly onboarding events and by helping people in my community to have more access to and better understand blockchain technology and get to know Hive. But I hope that next year I'll have enough to start running prize delegations to promote and encourage new users.
