Thank you with this brave move!
I'm not your customer but I believe that you should charge money for your work. This will help to start the Steemit ecosystem moving in the right direction. Let the market decide on the price and everything is going to be just fine.
Thanks for your comment.
I only partially agree with you. In a way, I believe I shouldn't.
There are some mechanisms to fund projects on the platform. Using them would be better and beneficial to all. By charging for my services, I prevent some less wealthy users to play with it. The market is not always the best solution.
