The most important reason is that running three servers to get a few pennies in steem a month is not sustainable. Plus, I got someone who preninja-mined a ton of steem and the CEO of steemit (via @spaminator) flagging @proboards even though I'm doing EXACTLY what the blockchain permits us to do. I even made sure my account had sufficient resource credits to start archiving data on the blockchain.
Defending myself from flags already takes up too much of my time, and bigger whales give zero fucks of the good deeds I do on here. So, I'm not going to spread myself thin anymore ... I actually want to have MORE STEEM by the end of year, not less ...
