People that delegate their own SteemPower to another Steemain for no financial gain are the most selfless Steemits this platform has to offer.
The more SteemPower (SP) you have the higher your vote is worth. The more your vote is worth, the more you can reward authors on Steemit, and the more you can earn in curation rewards.
So anyone that delegates SP without looking for a financial reward is actually at a financial loss because they could have earned curation rewards with the power themselves.
This post is a dedication to one such person. 
The aim of this post, I hope, is to make
But there is something that is not included in this data. That is the personal effect this delegation has had on each one of the Steemians that received the power.
I can only speak for myself in this, but receiving this power has done so much for me. I didn’t think my reputation on Steemit would grow like it has done. This power has given me exposure that I couldn’t have imagined. It has given me confidence not only in myself but also in Steemit as a platform and the community around it. It has made me believe Steemit is the place to be and I will be a strong part of it moving forward.
I did previously analyse the data on my votes before, you can check out that post here

This post is more of an overview analysis post showcasing the reach this selfless act by Stella has achieved.
The table below shows each of the accounts that Stella has delegated power to, along with the date of delegation and the amount of SP delegated. I have added a column to this data to show how much this delegated power is worth with a 100% vote
I have connected to the Steemsql database using the following query
SELECT
*
FROM
Txvotes (NOLOCK)
WHERE [voter] in ('ashleykalila', 'crimsonclad', 'futurethinker', 'inquiringtimes', 'juliakponsford', '
kubbyelizabeth', ' limabeing ','mikepm74', 'paulag','reveur', 'thekittygirl')
and timestamp >= CONVERT(datetime,'10/01/2017')
and timestamp< CONVERT(datetime,'12/28/2017')
I then used DAX to further filter and apply calculations to the data.
We can see since delegation,

In the time since delegation from Stella
Since receiving delegation from Stella
I received delegation on the 29th October, so I have had it longer that the others in this report. During this time I have voted 1894 times reaching 722 authors. My average voting weight was 36.6% and the median weight was 20%.
The value of these votes which can be attributed to Stella’s delegation is $3695.49
Since then
With 956 votes to 287 different authors,
Conclusion
The effects of delegation are felt much further than to just the person that receives the delegation. With Stellas power, the combined Steemains above have left votes worth $9,262 on 5.8K different authors posts.
Speaking for myself, I know I would not have voted as much if I did not receive this delegation, so anyone that has received votes from me, you can thank my delegators for the generous rewards.
I hope this post stands as a testimony to
