I have become sporadical in checking my Steemit feed for the past few months.
First, I got involved in a freak accident resulting in a couple of fractures that kept me off the grid for a while. Right now, I am constantly shuttling between hospitals to look after my ailing grandmother and my wife's ailing grandmother. Obviously, amidst all this; Steemit took a backseat.
I had been publishing the introduction tag abuse and repetitive comment reports daily for the past 3 months. You all know that the data was taken from the amazing Steemsql service provided by @arcange. Due to the recent rally in Steem prices and increasing popularity of Steem blockchain, this free service encountered heavy traffic prompting
@arcange to opt for a 10 SBD monthly subscription model. You can read more about it here.
From 24-01-2018 I have been receiving failure notifications in my inbox which I noticed yesterday. Looking at the economics of these reports a 10 SBD monthly subscription will severely dent my steem wallet as these reports barely gather 3 or 4 SBD per month and I am not utilising it for my other reports which I had been publishing earlier.
So I have decided to put these reports in limbo and will try checking out other avenues to get the data for the reports when I find time. I will probably hook up these reports to the steemdata.com mongodb server that is free for now.
