I was not comparing, only pointing out the issues I saw in the post.

For my projects I pay for a service which we depend on.

I’ve never said that steemworld did not add value and have supported it in the past. I know many users find it valuable. I was simply pointing out (since for some reason the comparison was being made even though the two projects are not competing for funding or anything of the sort) that it does nothing for adoption, rather just provides a service for those already here (which again, is valuable).

I think it's safe to say that the support staff of basically every Steem-based service relies on SteemWorld.

Care to give an example there? It’s a UI for the Steem api. I can’t think of a Steem based service that would depend on it or why. (Honest question here). It is a way to easily see the data in a user friendly UI, but what services depend on it? Curious what I am missing there.

I just do not agree with the idea that it should 100% rely on community funding through the SPS and then get posts like this when the voting fluctuates. To me it shows lack of knowledge of the system and the comments show lack of concern for the price of STEEM.

The project has been highly supported and I would have bet that it would have received funding from SPS again. Many proposals have fluctuated and that meant they didn’t get “all” or any of the funding asked for.. it’s how it works.

I guess I was just taken aback by the post which (like the proposal) was more about personal issues and less about the project that funding was being asked for.

I never said the project does not add value.. if it didn’t, it wouldn’t have received the funding that it has.
