Yes, you are absolutely correct about the compounding effect of delegating. The biggest question is whether one is better served by using their votes to actively grow their accounts through building relationships, self-voting, etc. It is an interesting dilemma for those of us that have the SP. For many of my readers, the lack of SP makes this an easy decision in the short term. Once they have built their accounts up a bit, they will need to look at all their options.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and for stopping by. I hope we can count on seeing more of you. All the best.
