Well the problem is that if they delegate to one set of users, no matter how good the cause, they are being unfair to all of the other stakeholders. If for example the Korean community worked extremely hard to get their community members to buy $250,000 USD worth of Steem Power so that they could support the members of their community, and then the Steemit account gives the Spanish community $250,000 worth of delegated SP for free how is that fair to the users who actually invested in the platform?

It seems to me to be excellent that these topics are beginning to be talked about on these sides and I have encouraged myself to participate in this small debate.
It is extremely interesting to analyze if some minority communities should be supported or not by the Steemit whales, for this, it is necessary not to decontextualize the subject. Let me explain, we can not "abstract" the Steemit communities of the world outside the internet and their tangible reality that can be summed up in a single word: Inequality. Simply, not all people in all countries have the same investment capacity as others.
Unfortunately, it is simpler to tell the Korean community to invest 250,000 SP in Steemit, than to the Venezuelan community in which the average salary is around 30 $.
It is not with this that you want to ask for a "charity" or that we want things given away, what is proposed is temporary help for communities that do not have the capacity to start with the same force as others if they could have.
On the other hand, I do not think it is so correct that other investors do not want minority communities or less purchasing power to grow, first of all because the growth of any community group in Steemit has a direct impact on the acceptance of this platform and, therefore, the price of STEEM, which benefits us all and especially the big investors.
In addition to the above, we must remember that the premise with which this community was created, according to Ned, is to end the problem of violence, so that altruistic ethics should not be lost in the decisions that are made.
I think it is possible to design a temporary method in which large whales or users with a lot of SP invest in well planned and structured healing projects in the Hispanic community that allow:
The reward and attraction of creators of quality content in other languages.
The growth of the minority communities of Steemit that will end up impacting in the end in the growth of the community in general and of the price of STEEM thus benefiting the large and medium investors.
If one sits down to analyze it well, there are more advantages than disadvantages in the proposal that, besides an aid, I consider an investment.
It is a valid viewpoint, and there isn't really anything that I disagree with. Ultimately though it is up to the investors to decide what to do with their stake. If you are looking to get investors to sponsor your project/community, then the burden is on you to convince them to give you their investment.
Point of clarification here sir @timcliff , is it to give or just lend/delegate?
Either, although most likely if you were to get an investor's support, it would come in the form of a delegation.
One thing you might be interested in is https://www.minnowbooster.com/. It allows you to lease/rent delegated SP. It comes at a cost, and the delegation only lasts for a limited time, but it is cheaper than actually buying the amount you would need for the same amount of influence.
Thank you very much @timcliff for giving time of my queries. And congrats for being the top 2 witness, you are one of my voted witnesses. God bless!
