The figures are interesting and give hope for those in poorer countries to supplement if not pay for their lifestyle.
As to my experience with your generously delegated SP ~ I have been very busy commenting like a dervish and upvoting on my merry way! It certainly feels good to leave an upvote with a more respectable value :)
I have also been sharing the love to myself although this kinda feels a little shady to me? But then I rationalise that true love begins with self and from that gains momentum and power...
Since being on Steemit i have not withdrawn any funds and power up continually so your delegation is being put to long term good use.
As delegator do you reap any rewards from the delegatee?(Is that actually a word?) I do hope so ~ talking reward not word here!
Anyway, once again thanks.
Be well.

No, I don't as it is free delegation. some people sell it to the bidbots or directly to users and it is quite a lucrative business. I choose not to as I think it will lead to a negative position for the community.
Hopefully you will see returns on this in time.
Don't feel shady as long as the content is content you would upvote even if it wasn't you own. Look at it as an investment in yourself now that will help others in the future more too. Of course, that future requires some action ;)
