First of all, I just want to clarify this first - I'm not spreading any hate here at all :) No offense, no pointing fingers on particular members and definitely no threats of being an enemy to someone. I'm just a tech guy with a weakness for numbers. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVZmYGP7DM9Ci6CQmmWTnMwMVLRCUSohscaXMSyqQG5Zg/image.png)

Who's worth such mighty delegation?

Anyway, there's a dpoll for 20k SP delegation run by @theycallmedan. And altho I'm a part of one of the two leading groups (therefore biased), I genuinely think the winner should be a group which is helping the STEEM ecosystem the most. And what's the best metric for this in these times, when voting bots are everywhere? Deffo not rewards...but what about comments?

Comments - the real metric of account importance

I genuinely believe this. Cuz you can buy as many votes as you want. But what about comments? You get comments from people only if:

Your content is sooooo amazing people come back to you and read it and comment
You often comment somewhere else and you've created friendships - therefore people care about what you post and come to comment despite your content might not be the top-notch

Anyway, both scenarios help elevate seriousness and quality of our STEEM blockchain. Real user engagement. Not just posting posting posting without looking around to interact with the others.

Engagement comparison - @steemitbloggers & @steemchurch

These two are the leading groups in the poll right now. I've just checked the comment count of last 20 posts unter the tag #powerhousecreatives and #steemchurch. To see where the bigger engagement is. And to be honest, I was pretty surprised how huge the difference was.

Number of last posts: 20

Comments under #steemchurch posts: 9

Comments under #powerhousecreatives posts: 65

Wow :O Well, that's a huge difference. If you don't believe me, just go and check for yourself. Obviously, it might be different when you'll be checking but I'm not lying - it's 19:11 CET right now and there are the current metrics (numbers).

Results: Aaand the winner is...

Noone. There are no winners and losers. @steemitbloggers are maybe lacking somewhere else. Maybe while we're engaging here on Steemit, #steemchurch people are helping out there in the real world. Who knows. I'm not judging anyone. All I'm saying is, that when it comes to the engagement in comment sections, @steemitbloggers definitely have an edge. And at the end of the day, that's what should matter to you when you're deciding who to vote for :) Delegation of STEEM Power should mirror the engagement on STEEM Blockchain, right?
