Over the past couple of months, I have been taking a long hard look at some of my delegations. I wish I had taken a before screenshot so you could see the changes that I have made over that time.
I know that @daan and I think
@cryptoandcoffee have made some posts in the past about delegations. I actually communicate pretty regularly on Discord and use them to get feedback for whatever changes I am thinking about implementing on my account.
They are two pretty smart cookies and I really value their wisdom and opinions.
With the rollout of the latest Hard Forks, I have wanted to do a better job of keeping my SP up so that I can focus and grow my curation rewards.
I had some good payouts, and I was sitting on a decent amount of liquid STEEM so I used that to donate some more @steembasicincome (SBI) shares. If you didn't know, for every share of SBI that you donate, you get one in return, so my donations allowed me to reduce my delegation from 500 SP to 100 and still maintain the same upvote level from them.
I created a new account for the Sports Talk Social platform and delegated some SP to that so I can perform actions on the blockchain. My delegation to @mrsbozz was initially so she could play Steem Monsters without running out of resources, I just never removed it now that she has grown some.
There was a time a while ago that Wherein was the greatest coming thing. Because of where it is located and the target audience of it, the potential for growth was huge. I feel like I am always behind the curve on a lot of things (Steemit, Steem Hunt, etc) so this time I wanted to be at the forefront.
I delegated 500 SP to them and I still get some Steem returned each day from them, but I haven't heard much in terms of development. Supposedly, there is supposed to be a token coming sometime, but I am not sure when. Does anyone know what is going on with Wherein? Should I pull my delegation or hold on a little longer?
I really like Partiko, it is basically my go-to editor and comment platform when I am away from my desktop. I am still waiting for "dark mode" and it seems that development has really slowed. The still upvote each of my posts for my delegation though, so I am still holding out hope they will finally implement some changes.
My delegations to this projects used to be much larger. I have really pulled back from them in the past couple of months. Steemhunt mainly because I didn't get in early enough and now the rewards for delegation are practically nil unless you have a huge amount of SP to delegate.
Dlike I am still just trying to figure out. Every time I get ready to give up on them they come out with an announcement that keeps me holding on. I still struggle a lot with the ethical ramifications of basically getting paid for sharing someone else's work.
Being similar to Pintrest, the platform obviously has some merit and the fact that they are making an effort to cut down on abuse is encouraging.
What do you think fellow Steemians? I know it is my stake to do with what I please, but I would really like your input on my delegations.
