Servers, infrastructure, and dev-ops work certainly doesn't grow on trees :)
Keeping the eco-system thriving with top infrastructure is a not just the actual costs we need to allocate for, but the dev-ops labour for on-going maintenance, various planning and implementations.
You're not just funding hours, labour and server costs but the brain resources from years of experience there is great value in that.
I'm glad to see @gtg is being included(Correct compensation wasn't a real priority at our prior chain), so much hard work wasn't completely valued for a good deal of steemit workers.
I believe without the strong support from the likes of @gtg, @blocktrades and others not mentioned here we wouldn't be thriving on Hive and making this great legacy in blockchain.
I support this proposal for continued stellar dev-ops work and resources needed for robust infrastructure 👍
