What do you think about the memory requirements increasing combined with the value of Steem declining, thereby making witnessing a loss operation, in a long term scenario... ? It’s something that maybe there’s a solution to?

That is precisely why the updates were needed, for scalability. I'm on my phone as you can see, but with these updates the crazy ram requirements will be solved by solid state drives. Now regarding making witnessing too expensive, that is a concern I do have. I mean, I've been really lucky myself and @helpie has never run at a loss, almost from day one.
But, in my opinion there is a silver lining to it not being so easy. We could say that the effort one must put forth to garnish enough support can either make a would be witness revisit their already shaky convictions, or cement their commitment and resolve.
My experience is anectodal, but like others I've invested so much into this place, that I was willing to run at a loss, because I was comfortable with having to earn the support one vote at a time. I did not want to beg for votes and probably never will, if someone does not feel like @helpie deserves it, then it doesn't.
So again, I hear you... But I find this to be somewhat of a test. Life's way of making sure we are ready.
