The legendary ctime! I thought you are just an old generation bot or sth, interesting to see that you are actually a real person and responsible for the recent price rise of Blurt.

I thought about buying some blurt myself (about 10K) and delegating it. I think that giving the curation rewards to the one who delegated the power makes a lot of sense. I even thought for my first years on Steemit that that would be the case, just because it makes sense.

Having more voting power is great in itself because you can influence the blockchain and can give away more moneys. So I think there is still a reason/benefit for delegations.

I also dont like upvoting services, I mean I use SBI/HBI myself and I don't have the cold-heartness to cleanse everyone from my feed that uses upvote services. Still not a big fan, haven't looked into upvo, but from the name alone I would guess it is a rather blatant (self-)upvote service.
