So delegating to a single centralized entity (which votes on whomever it wants, usually within its own community regardless) is better than delegating to another centralized entity which votes on a potentially slightly smaller pool of people? Honestly, we're talking about a small difference in the actual way the votes end up being distributed.

I understand the principle that you guys are talking about here. However, in both cases, you're delegating to a curator whom you trust will curate content properly, even if that includes your own. Sure, I can just not delegate and then upvote myself, but then this takes away the ability for me to use the same projects to help other newer users who also benefit from my delegation.

Anyway, differences in opinions on this will persist. I just don't think it was worth destroying the community account over this when it actually barely engages in this, as I pointed out in the post. Acidyo decided to downvote me and the community account, which was entirely unnecessary and frankly, vindictive.
