I can't remember what rank helpie was but I'm always sad to see the witness power even more concentrated in the hands of whales and developers. Variety is always a pleasure.
I wonder if it could be crowd funded? A report once a month would get some upvotes combined with witness pay out that's an okay chunk. The rest could be asked for in direct donations. Just promote the single post from a separate account (helpie-witness) that is on powerdown.
I think running a witness server is around 50$ a month which is 333 Steem at 0.15$

I've been doing a report once a month (links above) AND had been doing a WEEKLY contest for almost a year exactly. The point of these two things was to (hopefully) bring in enough upvotes to pay for the Witness. But... that never happened. While we do get the occasional BIG upvote from someone, most of our followers are little fish.
And spending money to 'promote' also just doesn't seem smart when we just don't have any INCOME.
Have any tried and true ways or suggestions I'm missing?
I'm willing to try all the things... but only for a year. LOL! It gets sad, ya know, trying SO HARD, being VERY consistent and getting nuttin' in return... when all I'm trying to do is get enough in return to keep on keeping on. 🥰
But... like Eon said, we ARE our curation initiative and folks can still delegate SP to help pump that up. By stopping the witness we are at least ensuring that the little votes we CAN offer don't continue to dwindle.
Oh! We were like at 42... so not too bad. 😘
42 is really good and probably sustainable if Steem's value is reasonably high.
Some curation projects have daily posts which seems a bit much, unless beneficiaries are set, but I think weekly posts are good.
Hope you come back onlime when the situation changes.
