I guess I'm going to be a bit bold on behalf of a few communities that I belong to. Direct return on investment is zero, however all thecommunities are invested in the interaction and retention of newer members of the Steem chain. For Steem to continue (thus the long term price) , this is one of the weaknesses (retention) that needs to be addressed and these communities are trying to do that (there are other methods, including diversifying away from a blog centric platform).
All three communities would benefit from even a tiny delegation.
wrote about it here. It is currently gearing up for it's second Season and is looking for sponsors of delegation support.@ifc (run by @apolymask) is the Information Finding Championship. It is a long running contest with high quality entries that helps provide a creative hook for members to focus their posting upon, it also is an outlet for creative people to help sell their goods and talents. I recently
@pifc (run by the @thedarkhorse) is a community that has it's members feature at least two other accounts of less than 55 Rep. Visibility for new bloggers is a problem and by trying to help spread the word out on new finds it is just a small way of trying to address this.
The last is my own project @classical-radio which is a curation account for the #classical-music tag which returns the bulk of its earnings to the bloggers that are featured. The @classical-music account (run by @remlaps) was the original creator and curation (but now focuses on bringing others into the tag) , but @classical-radio helps out with the support within the tag.
Again, none of these projects provide a direct ROI. But they are ways of trying to keep Steem worthwhile for the future and thus keeping the price and adoption of Steem afloat. All these accounts are quite small, so even a small delegation helps in a big way!
That's great @bengy, that's basically exactly what I'm looking for, I want to know what's out there, no harm at all showing your own communities!
Thanks for all the info. I'm looking thru them 👀 and I'll let you know if I have any questions!
Thanks for considering it!
