nah you don't get interest if you just delegate straight to someone yourself, you only get money for delegation if you use the minnowbooster service (or something similar) and they are basically paying you a cut of the money that someone else pays to receive the delegation. That is a totally different thing - that is paying for delegation, and being paid to delegate. I personally think it is bad for Steem, for many reasons.
This, what you are doing, on the other hand, is great. A small personal delegation to a quality poster so they can continue to use the platform in periods of peak use / low bandwidth is awesome - I do this regularly myself.
@demolotionranch, as soon as some of your posts pay out you can "power up" the post earnings to have more Steem Power of your own and you won't experience the bandwidth issues then.
