I’ve been all over the map on this. Currently self-voting on posts but not on comments. About 20% of my SP delegated to @smartsteem for an income stream, about 40% delegated “quasi-altruistically”, the remaining 40% being used for voting. Not sure I’ve found the right balance yet.
If you are an active user here you should delegate 0 vests and use your own stake to upvote yourself, downvote scammers, spammers, other abusers and if you still have any time left, then try to reward unrewarded good content.
If you think you have enough time or ability to do all of this with your available stake you are wrong, because even if you had your entire stake at your disposal now and it was doubled,you would have still
found yourself helpless if you tried to fight a bad whale or two.
Philanthropy should be the responsibility of the rich if anyone's.
Particularly of the undeservedly rich, A.K.A. "the whales".
I guess we’re going to have to agree to disagree.
Like people who use bots to upvote their own comments? 😏
That’s the issue right there. What’s acceptable to some is abuse to others.
Interpret it however you want.
The main idea is that if you are active then you can benefit the most out of your stake by using it to achieve your goals.
If you are inactive or lack time, you may profit by delegating your stake for a rent.
I am not at all in the know about STEEM rent prices, but all other things being equal there are bot owners far more deserving than smartsteem/smartmarket to delegate STEEM to.
But remember that I wrote all other things being equal, and I do not know if they are equal.
It should be discussed/negotiated with them.

its so hard to find the right balance. I have to weigh up how much delegation I give out free v's keep for curating...
