"The chart below shows the explosive growth of delegations. With it came a lot of controversies because it changed the incentives to curation and posting on the platform, as we will discuss in a future post."

This is an interesting debate. I believe that each has its own place in different ways of using Steem. Right now, I am not able to use Steem much so I delegate my SP to Minnowbooster. If I am able to more actively use the platform and curate content then I would want more SP behind my votes and would un-delegate.
