True, but most of the above doesn't require delegation to another account.
Delegations are used to:
- fuel bots
- create accounts (which are currently worth... ? - I give them away for free)
- send spam
- self-vote like a mo fo
With SP you can also attract users to engage on your post...
Yep, they will arrive, for an up-vote or two, and when the delegation ends, tumbleweed.
I'm not knocking your service, the audit shows all is well. And, I do think that delegation for large investors is perhaps something that should be promoted outside of the ecosystem - at least they are invested.
If you run an app u may need to claim a greater amount of free accounts, startup apps may also need SP to function, new apps to Steem may not have a high SP holding to start, yes its true that users arrive for a vote or two but that is the general psychology of the retail market nowadays, people have so many shiney new things to explore on the internet, they rarely stick to one thing, for us the value we extracted in feature requests and bug finds were well worth it.
I took a look at account claims a few months ago and it seems there is no shortage of accounts for most of the main apps, at present. If/when demand outstrips supply, leasing from a service like MB could certainly be an approach to take. And if this shortage starts to happen, it wont be just you guys that are 'in business' I hope! :D
Established apps have loads of SP for claiming, I guess I was talking more about new apps.
