Delegation is a really powerful tool on Hive. I get that people want maximum income, but with the state of Hive we need to do more to encourage new users and other small accounts to stick around. Even a small delegation can help them and supporting curation accounts that vote them up is an option. I have one that is aimed at getting people to minnow status. That gets some delegations, but does not pay delegators anything.
Those with a decent stake have the power to make things better. I see some who delegate out almost all their HP so they cannot even give comments a decent vote. They could use @commentrewarder to remedy that. If we just focus on personal gain then Hive will suffer.
I have not been listening to these shows, but it is good to hear these opinions and there's a few people there who I have met in person.

You are right about everything that you stated! And some of your points were discussed in the show too! I'm a big fan of manual curation, upvoting comments, and explaining to others how important is to have your OWN HivePower, to curate with it, to reward your audience and followers...
Yes, the easy way is to delegate to some curator and harvest the gains... But, there is no growth in HIVE without manual curation and engagement...
Thanks for the comment! You should definitely come by and join the show if you can as you can share a lot with others... and show them a different way!
Cheers!!!
