Yes! I knew about that delegation and the taking away of it as well. 

My thought on this whole process is, I don't feel like Steem devs are leveraging in the right manner. Delegations are great, but like in the past, they are very ripe for abuse. 

Somehow I feel their energy and time is so focused upon SMTs that the base of Steem, which is undoubtedly Steemit, is not truly an operational, nor scalable platform as of yet. I don't doubt SMTs may be huge, but if there is one thing about ecosystems, if they grow too large too quickly, the wheels come off. 

I feel if Steem devs aren't paying enough attention to building upon the Steemit ecosystem first, this will lead to huge problems.
