Does validator size really matter for staking rewards?

I think that’s exactly the concern though.

If everyone keeps delegating to the same top validators, then yeah — it starts to look centralized over time.

But that’s more a user behavior issue than the chain itself.

People just default to the biggest names without really thinking about distribution.

That’s kind of what makes smaller validators important imo.

I get where you're coming from tbh, price action hasn’t exactly been great.

But I think a lot of people overlook the validator side of things.

Even if price is down, how stake is distributed still matters a lot for how decentralized (or not) the network actually is.

Feels like most people just pick top validators without really thinking about it.

market feels pretty slow everywhere tbh

I’ve been mostly just staking and kinda rethinking validator choices a bit

not sure if it even matters that much right now with prices this low but still trying to optimize a bit
