The SP interest still accrues in their favor on the delegated SP. Not every delegation will result in 100% good results, but it will be better than the situation now with significant abuse of the vote bots. The delegations can be for 30days to discourage abuse.... ONE TIME IN 30 DAYS THE DELEGATOR NEEDS TO CHECK ON THE DELEGETEE's use. Not too hard for them to do.

The payout is in the price of steem going up because new users will have a greater shot of getting noticed when they produce good content....word of mouth, equals more users and more investment in Steem.

Never going to happen? Why? It is already happening, only on a micro scale. @aggroed regularly delegates 100's and 1000's of SP to Steemians he trusts.

And if you are saying the truth, you are running an operation that is losing you money, but you are doing it then.....why? Because according to you, no whale would be benevolent and not seek an immediate return on their investment. You are contradicting yourself or something.

And most big whales (those that have been here 12 mo or more) HAVE ALREADY made a 50% or 100% or more ROI. They are not hurting. And they can make their biggest ROI yet by investing in the platform(the users) with the benefit of STEEM being valued more and rising in price. To $2, $4 or even $10 per STEEM.
