I dont think this is right jary. The nodes of all validators get shuffled out of consensus by protocol but they are still active validator nodes. And will get shuffled in in the next round. With smaller validators you will maybe not get daily rewards but on the other days you get more. Apr is an annual estimate an will avg out over time. Dont confuse this with nodes in the queue waiting to get active validator nodes! Small validators are very good for decentralization and need support from the community. One concern is that they could loose their 2.5k egld per node by to less supporters or bad settings. Theyll loose thier acrive node status then. Ull have to select another validator then.. More important is that you do your research on the validator u select: - are they trustworthy and stable in their settings - do they support the community or play against it - how high is the service fee and do they use the extra money earned from the delegators to serve the community or drain it away from the ecosystem? - and last but not least: what apr do they offer to their delegators? Is it stable?

What part is wrong? The part where staking providers don't have access to your EGLD or the part where the worst thing that could happen is having to unstake your EGLD from inactive nodes?

- are they trustworthy and stable in their settings The average user will not be able or care to research many providers and decide which is good - do they support the community or play against it Define what this means. Most validators just validate and that's it. - how high is the service fee and do they use the extra money earned from the delegators to serve the community or drain it away from the ecosystem? Service fee is already deducted from the final APR value so you shouldn't care too much about that. Besides, validators have expenses so it's only fair to let them keep some of the money to pay their hardware and keep up their service. They also need all the tech knowledge to safely and successfully run everything. - and last but not least: what apr do they offer to their delegators? Is it stable? APR is based on MANY factors and some of them definitely cannot be controlled by the validators themselves - also not how stable the income is. And still Jary's Statement remains true: delegated EGLD towards validators is safe because they do not have the coins. And even if the validator gets slashed or stops validating, delegated egld is not affected by this. The worst that could happen is: you have to unstake your egld and loose 10 days of rewards
