I'm in agreement with the ideals behind your post here. Getting more of the SP lying dormant moving seemed like a great idea to me, too. That was before people like abh12345, paulag and tarazkp started looking into it and determined, to their surprise, too, that it was actually better that all of that SP was sidelined.

I'm not sure now, but all of these posts were happening, I believe, end of February, beginning of March. At any rate, the conclusion was more SP would only cause the reward pool to dilute more, meaning smaller amounts of rewards for everyone else.

Funny thing is, they weren't really looking at delegation in of itself, but what effect voting bots with or without delegation were having on the reward pool. Since there's plenty of delegations going to bots of all stripes, it was important data to look at.

So, I don't know what to think now. With some issues, like this one, the more I read, the more uncertain I get about what's good or bad for users here on the platform. Everything seems to cause an opposite reaction than what was intended.

Whatever truly helps people here is fine with me. You may have seen those posts I'm referring to, but I thought I'd bring them up since your request includes SP that isn't being used, as well as potentially rerouting delegations.
