RE: 🐠@Helpie UPDATE🐠JANUARY 2020🐠 - WITNESS IS DISABLED
No worries, nothing actually changes since we still curate. And we're all still helpie-ing in the background.

I can't remember what rank helpie was but I'm always sad to see the witness power even more concentrated in the hands of whales and developers. Variety is always a pleasure.
I wonder if it could be crowd funded? A report once a month would get some upvotes combined with witness pay out that's an okay chunk. The rest could be asked for in direct donations. Just promote the single post from a separate account (helpie-witness) that is on powerdown.
I think running a witness server is around 50$ a month which is 333 Steem at 0.15$
I've been doing a report once a month (links above) AND had been doing a WEEKLY contest for almost a year exactly. The point of these two things was to (hopefully) bring in enough upvotes to pay for the Witness. But... that never happened. While we do get the occasional BIG upvote from someone, most of our followers are little fish.
And spending money to 'promote' also just doesn't seem smart when we just don't have any INCOME.
Have any tried and true ways or suggestions I'm missing?
I'm willing to try all the things... but only for a year. LOL! It gets sad, ya know, trying SO HARD, being VERY consistent and getting nuttin' in return... when all I'm trying to do is get enough in return to keep on keeping on. 🥰
But... like Eon said, we ARE our curation initiative and folks can still delegate SP to help pump that up. By stopping the witness we are at least ensuring that the little votes we CAN offer don't continue to dwindle.
Oh! We were like at 42... so not too bad. 😘
42 is really good and probably sustainable if Steem's value is reasonably high.
Some curation projects have daily posts which seems a bit much, unless beneficiaries are set, but I think weekly posts are good.
Hope you come back onlime when the situation changes.
Hi @eonwarped
I just visited your profile to check out if you posted anything interesting lately, just to realize that you didn't publish anything in a long while.
Hope youa are well and didn't give up on steemit yet.
Cheers, Piotr
Heya, yes I'm still around. Too busy to post, but may go around commenting (I keep saying that.. )
Hi again @eonwarped
Glad to see that you're still around :)
Can I ask you for little favour? I joined contest called "Community of the week" with project I manage and I would be grateful if you could RESTEEM it and help me get some exposure and drop some encouraging comment :)
Link to my post: on steemit or on steempeak
Thanks :)
Yours, Piotr
