On a positive note @jerrybanfield has launched his growth proposal, he also outlines many other initiatives in his post linked above. There is also another project @steem-bounty.

Nothing seems to have attracted the attention of the big delegators like the top 5 or 6 projects we all know about. I ask myself why is this and I cannot find a good answer.

Delegation is an investment. How do you compete for this investment and how do you attract these big whales in 2018? I would love if someone would shed some light on this for me.
