That is an awesome idea, there are several accounts out there that could be doing the same.
Here's a thought(it may be a dumb idea haven't thought it out completely), you are pretty good at making your vote count, and you vote quite often yet seem to keep your SP pretty high. If you could talk some of these dormant accounts into doing a follow vote on steem auto, it could earn them more than the delegation, should boost your vote payout a bit, and would help the community as well.
It might be simpler than the delegation and paying for said delegation.
Just a thought....
There are plenty but, and this could well be true for me, delegating out to an individual usually means that individual cannot afford to keep payments without going into a self-vote crazy.
Curation/vote trailing is no match for delegation earnings - which is the main reason most of the 'investor' accounts end up delegating to such services.
Cheers!
I didn't think it would be quite the same earnings but I noticed the hendrikdegrote account on the Curie voting trail, delegating to dtube and voting trail.
Yes and how kind of him that is, we pray he continues with this 🙏🏼
