Not clear is why someone should grow another project for the sake of his own growth. As if one would say, "your project is less worth than mine, so delegate something". Then why not simply ask for donations directly, instead of diguising them? My account has also grown over the last 6 years, but all by myself, I never begged for votes or delegations! So I feel justified to ask a simple question, if someone tries to grow a project all by the help of others and not by own investments/efforts.
