[Steem talk] Undelegation

As I was discussing with @wherein plans and possible outcome after HF21, suddenly they received news of delegation withdrawal. The account has been bleeding now due to the fact that it needs voting power to keep the community growing.

The thing is, why do we need to upvote to keep the ball rolling? It's not like if we don't have @wherein upvote we're not going to continue create content? Or are we really depending on a community curation project to survive?

Error 404, it was one of the well known error code over the Internet since windows 94(yeah I knew that). What if @wherein lost all of its delegation? When I looking at the entire payout system, actually @wherein had been bleeding since they started to pay a fixed APR for their early birds delegator.

When I look at it again, I think everything become clear. It's not about the delegation. It's about mentality. People are so used to kick back. I upvoted you, please upvote me back. I delegated you, please pay me back. I followed you, please follow me back.

What do we miss here? Exactly, engagement. The current situation not only affect @whetein, I believe many delegation base community project has been affected. By next week, after HF21, curation reward will be adjusted to 50%. I believe many of us is pulling back and getting ready for HF21.

What I fail to understand is, if you know HF21 is just going to be another form of #scot base token style and rules to apply in #steem, so why the fuzz? You already know the drill, so what's the fuzz?

I have not much delegated out, currently the biggest delegation from my side

Let's see how bad the damage is going to cost me during this #hf21. I know it's definitely going to hurt for the first week, because whatever payout from this week us going to increase on the curator reward, but I believe kick back vote will be badly hurt.

I'm staying in to see the show.
