What are the real costs of running this operation? $200k seems like a lot.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a project behind @arcange? I support and supported several of his proposals and will do, but summing things up it seems like you're running a Microsoft. A Microsoft-like operation would require more funds than essential for Hive the Keychain and HiveSQL projects combined.

Sorry, but I find it costs about $200-300 a month to maintain and keep the service updated to current blockchain state. The rest should be your business model. The World Cup event got you over $500 income. I don't envy you, but I show you the way you could easily get the costs covered. @hivebuzz would need to reimburse a graphic designer? No problem do a post or two.

I don't understand why people are even voting for Hive's biggest spammer.
Other people have been downvoted for much less.

200k for something that is already built is ridiculous.
I also think it's a stupid service.

It is not stupid, gamification is one way of having people motivated and sometimes it can be even more successful than bonuses (at a workplace). We need to keep people engaged in Hive and hivebuzz helps a bit. I'm Not against hivebuzz, I'm just against paying them $200k

For years, HiveBuzz has operated with the sole source of funding being the income from the few posts published. It simply doesn't work to support such a project (infrastructure, developers and other people working with us).

We don't have a "business model" as you suggest because we don't sell services. The purpose of our activity is to motivate and promote user retention on the platform. If the amount of the proposal may seem high, it must be taken into consideration that it is spread over two years.
