Whatever @ned reasons are, i think, in the course of delegation period, not only it was an experiment by ned, it also an experiment of handling self-restrain . You know what people would say before and would do after they would get money. Im not saying bad things . But in this experiment, who truly a leader was really showing, so I hope this is what ned hoping for.

Meanwhile, popularity does not mean you are a leader, it just means that you are popular.

What we can take from this lesson are, that ned value who can contribute more to steemit and for the longetivity of this platform thus trusting 7people to manage huge steem power.
