Delegation - dedication

You see, one of the best thing I've invested in my life, is ASEAN HIVE community. If you're thinking how much people can potentially earn compare to the amount they've invested, then you're probably looking at the... wouldn't say wrong, but a different direction.

Hello everyone, I'm Dave. I'm from Malaysia, an average middle age employee. I used to spend thousands of hours navigating through the entire #steem platform, squeezing every single drop of upvote from anyone and everyone. I had to make 5 posts a day across different community, just to get a community vote, and guess how that turned up? You're not wrong, I'm burning myself up.

Until recently, think it was somewhere around April, I loaded my #bittrex account and bought some #hive, thought if hive goes to moon, and I'd be able to gain some through speculation. However, the price of hive haven't been doing very well for a very long period of time.

What I did was, stake it instead. At very least, put them in good use. At least delegate it to vote selling bot and if still receive some ROI. And guess what, is that really something I'm looking for?

For some reason, I came across @justinparke vlog and thought it's kinda cool to be part of the community. Since then, I've been actively posting. Until one day, Justin posted about he has a dream, to grow the community to more than a dollar worth vote. I don't know what has got into my mind, and decided to pour every balance of my HP into the community.

Now what I earned in return is, I started to see things from a different angle. A dollar worth of vote isn't really a big of a deal, there's so many other community out there with huge whale vote, but this one, I see my investment put to good use, vote for content that I love, and seeing the vest going to people who deserve, makes me feel it's ok to NOT blogging everyday even when I don't have anything to blog with.

May be it's a god damn covid juice they gave me, I now have super power. I can hear so many things, until all these noise become unbearable and I decided those are what I can't hear. I use to enjoy KFC, but now my brain start to process, there's cinnamon, salt, ground parsley, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, all sort of signals going through my brain until I forgot to enjoy "good" food. Even when I smell perfume, my brain will start processing what kind of ingredient it was used to create that perfume.

My point is, after the delegation, I know there's no absolute return of investment from what I've invested, but I gotten so much more out of it. I now have the freedom of NOT posting for ROI anymore. I feel so much happier with my content quality. And best of all, my HIVE js helping the people whom make use of the ASEAN Hive community.

Keep it up. I will do my part to increase as well as I gradually remove delegation from my another account at the other community.

You've already been very generous my friend, but I never say no to more HP.

It is KFC. Right opposite of my office. They've got shut down for couple of days, with a sign at the door stating they're "short of staff". Have you seen KFC shut their doors due to short of staff? LOL often they're open even no staff at the counter at some days. Anyway, they've resume business.

This post kind of leaves me speechless, what I can I say? You're a cornerstone in this community.......the delegation, the engagement, the content, the humor, I could go on and on.

I am still trying to figure out how this community has grown so fast and why, but I am thankful. The delegations from you and @gooddream set off a spark that led to several smaller delegations from other community members with less HP. I think you've also increased awareness of just how valuable even a 5HP delegation can be.

I do think the weekly delegator raffles as well as the mini-footer delegator have spurred some further delegations, and I think this way of dispensing rewards is more exciting than daily static returns. I am planning to up my delegation soon, and right now if I combine total HP of the @asean.hive account, delegations included, we are almost to 50,000HP, and therefore nearly technically a whale.

When we hit 50,000HP as a community, I have some plans to up the delegation rewards and begin some bi-weekly or monthly challenges. Once again, thanks for being a selfless rock in this community. LONG LIVE THE DAVE!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I want to continue posting on a regular basis, but preferably some good shit rather than keep making up low quality content just for a small vote. There's so much of non-sense from my previous post, even when I try to dig back some of the post I wanted to read, I couldn't as I was piling up with tons of useless community posts that I hardly use my brain.

As for the delegation, as soon as we touch 150k, you'll be getting influx of spammers and will be extremely hard to control. So many posts that you can't vote for all anymore. By that time, we'll have to deal with another big chunk of community abuser issue. Now is the time, that people wanted to grow, but the size is not quite there yet, was the best time to enjoy what's a community like.

Your content is refreshing and authentic despite your self deprecation. IF you thought your content was good, it probably wouldn't be good, if that makes any sense at all.

I must admit even since we reached a $1.00 upvote, I've muted nearly the same amount of people as I have give the ASEAN Hive Star title. From my experience in past communities, I know all too well how easy it is to become a victim of one's own success. This was the case with Natural Medicine, and I think LeoFinance also has the same problem now.

Well, I'm doing my best to mute plagiarists, spammers, and post dumpers who don't do any engagement of any sort, even reply to comments. Every time I see a new person posting, I check their comment history and do a bit of research. Hopefully these efforts will allow us to grow sustainably and keep the community feel.
