I do not see I have made any statement worthy of your ire. I haven't claimed this will do anything for the average user that you did not, and merely described the mechanisms that will determine if, and how, it will affect folks.
When I joined in May 2017 I received, as many did, a delegation from Stinc that allowed me to participate on the platform. That was a good use of delegation from my perspective, and benefited me and everyone else, at least by increasing the content and curation on the platform, growing the market, and marketing, for Steem.
So, there's that. Not all delegations are only harmful in their effects on the median user. Those introductory delegations were extremely beneficial to all concerned.
Yes, you are correct.
I started with 3 steem and no delegation.
It would be near impossible to operate now without some delegation.
This is just a continuing burr under my saddle blanket.
I will be glad when the very last stinc issued rose colored glasses fall off of folks.
Please forgive if I have spoken harshly, not my intent.
You tend to have a gentle way, so perhaps I overreacted to the tone of your comment. Regardless, I am due some comeuppance, I am sure.
Meh, we each get our opinions, they don't have to be right.
