I checked 3 options on the survey, including building without financing.

For a witness to build apps without funding on the use of Hive, sure makes them get votes and if it stops working the logical thing to do is to remove the votes.

Other types of apps should have their own business model and be profitable, for example games. But it seems that in Web3 the most common and normalized thing is that projects are funded from a DAO or from the community itself without being profitable or sustainable.
