RE: Want a Vote?

As a freshman on Hive, I will be marking exactly one year on 27/07/2026. What do you suggest regarding my delegations? Should I remove them entirely or just reduce the HP assigned?
The reason I delegated in the first place was simply to increase my HP, which I then reinvested back into the system.I would really appreciate your advice on this, Sir. 🙏

You delegation is mostly to @ecency and while that's fine, it limits what you can do with your VP, and gives someone else the power over that delegated sum. I favour making my own decisions, but that's up to you. You will get the same back, if you use your own VP.
Thank you so much for the valuable advice! 🙏.I didn’t fully realize that delegating heavily to ecency was limiting my own voting power.I will reduce the delegation and create a healthier balance so I can curate more actively myself.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share this with me.Wishing you continued success on the chain!
Delegation doesn't reduce your Voting Power. Since Ecency returns back 100% curation reward back to delegators, you get back your curation reward in liquid HIVE form instead of Hive Power (staked HIVE) if you were to curate maximum effort yourself. There is no lost either case, just convenience and trust. If you would like to vote yourself fully and sure you will be actively curating content, yes keeping HP to your own account makes sense. If you are not sure you can curate everyday actively then delegating will be more effective.
FYI: Ecency returns 100% curation reward back in liquid HIVE there is no cut.
Fair enough, maybe I am a little out of touch.
