Adding up the subscription fees received to assess the cost of a project like HiveSL is not the right way to proceed. As I explained in my numerous posts, I first funded it by myself, then compensated the difference between the subscriptions and the real costs of this project, all this out of my own pocket for years.

In Steem's history, all the other projects that proposed something similar for free, and which sometimes even received more money than what I collected with the subscription, broke their necks and disappeared. It is only because I am an enthusiast and money is not my driver that HiveSQL is still here.

Free has a cost, and those have been detailed in the proposal. Not happy with the proposal and its services, do not vote for it and ask for your HiveSQL account removal.
