Gotta pay salaries and hosting fees etc. Just because Steem goes down doesn't mean their expenses go down.

If that's the case, then it seems like they got to pay a lot. I want to get a salary from them too!

I doubt developers are cheap. I think they have a team of them so I imagine they have to spend at least a million if not $2 million a year on staff.

I don't think they got many.

They have to have at least one or two full time developers I would imagine. I guess they have a merketing guru as well who says they are increasing staff.
