I read this comment when you first wrote it and to be honest it made me somewhat mad so I haven't responded for a few days so I could think about how I wanted to approach it. I was thinking that maybe you were new and possibly not familiar with how steemit works or not aware of the helpful applications that are available. But I noticed that you have a reputation of 61 so I'm sure you're familiar with steemit.

Yes we are a manual service but we don't run behind because of "laziness". As I'm sure you're aware, our upvote weight is based on the amount of Steem Power we have. Since STEEM has drastically declined, so has our voting weight. We normally run within that 72 hour window but when things like this happen there's not a lot we can do.

Of course the simple answer is to invest more money now while the price is so low but my husband and I are just small time users and we have our funds tied up in a house that we're flipping right now. We are working hard on networking with other investors on the platform to get more delegations because as an investor we do a 75% profit share. But things like that take time.

We do not make any money from our service because as we gain more SP we up the price to be able to provide larger votes for our users. Someday it would be nice to make some money from this project but for now we're doing it to help build the accounts of smaller users.

If you're ever in question of our activity, a great resource is steemworld.org. If you haven't heard of it or used it before search for some articles/videos about it as it's extremely helpful and you can see where we're at with our upvotes and such.

I hope this helps clarify some things.
