Thanks for posting this piece, @charles1. As a new member in Steem, I have a lot of questions. For topics such as delegation, my questions are accompanied by suspicion. There appear to be a few people and/or bots who are attempting to "game the system." Your article helps to explain some of what is going on here and why, however.

Do you have an opinion as to at what point Steemians should consider engaging in delegation? For example, should they wait until they have a few hundred followers, a thousand, or is there some other data point they should be considering?

I have upvoted this post and followed you, and intend to read through some of your previous posts, as well. Feel free to follow me back.

Thanks again for your post and good luck on Steem. Enjoy your journey!
