Thanks for the response, @gniksivart. Sorry about your login issues! Hopefully your account hasn't been pruned thanks to these new "features" >__< You make a good point about most free systems forcing daily traffic; perhaps there's a compromise to be reached here, like minimum weekly upvotes as opposed to daily?

I would almost prefer that SteemFollower went to a small pay model - either a minimal SBD donation to use the platform or delegating Steem Power to @steemfollower to keep the servers running. I do sympathize and understand that servers cost money to run and would hate to see SteemFollower go by the wayside. I just think this is a terrible way to go about getting more traction, glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
