I am not dislike accounts smaller than me, I would like to get big votes and earn more. I could always self-vote, and stop delegating power to other for free, that way I could earn more. Or I could take all my earnings and cash out each week giving me the ability to support NO ONE..
If you abstain from upvoting your own comments, then it can be profitable to delegate your SP to someone else for free. How? If that person always upvotes your posts at 100% power and upvotes even a single comment of yours, you are winning.
i don't expect votes from those I delegate too. lol in fact I have never even checked to see if they vote for me and I am the steemit data geek. I bet there are accounts i have delegated too that hardly ever give me a vote, but I am not going to check because then they might feel under pressure to do so.
What I'm saying is that you can benefit from delegating to others even if you delegate for free. If you want to be generous and expect nothing back however indirectly, then that's another thing.
I do get something back. I was once delegated too. I remember how it felt. every time i delegate I get the knowledge that someone feels that way and thats it. its just that simple
Sure, charity feels nice.
it be awesome to do it in real life, walk around handing out 100 notes lol...that would feel awesome......
Heh.
