Whales don't really care about projects like these. They also wouldn't join since our upvote is not worth their time. We all know they are all to busy self-voting their awesome content. ;)

We do appreciate your 2 cents. We love all the 2 cents we can get. Yes changing over to the subscription was a hard decision to make. Supporting 1200+ members though are getting harder and harder.

Everywhere you look it's profit this and profit that. The "community" aspect is lost with some and they would rather spend their steem on a pay4vote bot. We do not blame them though, each have their own opinion and way of steemit life. =)
