What is the purpose of running these seed nodes? Apparently they do not provide profits to the operator. @timcliff. it's just a question.

Purpose of Seed Nodes

Seed nodes are crucial for the reliability of the Steem blockchain.

They provide a way for other Steem blockchain nodes to "sync", and download the latest blockchain data.
They also help to provide reliability/structure to the "peer to peer" (p2p) network that all of the blockchain nodes use to communicate, and distribute the latest blocks.
