The alternative would have been a complete shut down of minnowbooster, because users were not buying votes anymore, scared to get flagged. There's no ideal solution, and we're working as hard as possible towards making other services profitable to increase the payouts again.

^this. I hold a few BUILDTEAM tokens and am always supportive of their moves to make their services promote good content. Long-term.
Thank you for your support!
And you're right, it's all about long-term. It's pointless to go for short-term goals if it ruins our future.
that is also why I am not selling my buildteam and holding on to them long term
We're giving our best to make that worth it :)
Development of good things just takes a bit, especially with low STEEM prices.
I stopped using most bots after the HF because - if I'm not making a profit, I at least want to come out even.. and that doesn't happen now with many of the bots unless you pay large amounts of STEEM, and I was only paying the bare minimum for votes.
After the HF and taking out curation, many bots are a loss.. However small a loss is a loss.
I suspect it is a bad ROI that has decreased interest in voting bots, more so than fear of downvotes, to be honest..
It's probably a mix of both. Not much we can do about it, but it's likely we'll eventually shut minnowbooster down. We want to focus on services that benefit the community more, like TokenBB, GINAbot, and DLease.
