As a minnow (3rd week on SteemIt) subscribing right now would badly damage my earnings.
I really enjoyed using your database while it was free access, and was working on a small project to help SteemCleaners in identifying abuse of the SteemIt system.
Have you considered opensourcing this so that other people can set it up on their local machines, or is that too complicated - Would that involve running a node?
In any case, thanks for providing the service while it was available for free. I might subscribe at some point once my earnings get bigger.
