You don't get the point. There is no problem to spend the coins to support their development. But spending coins all the way out doesn't seems like they are interested in that project at all.
If they're not interested in the project at all why are they still plugging at it after more than a year
*, and why were they still plugging at it and spending money to hire a team (I think up to 17 full time now, plus some part time, having started with 6 founders) even when STEEM was below 10 cents?
Your story makes no sense at all.
* except Larimer who quit to go do another project. He indeed appears to have not been very interested beyond a quick payoff. The rest of them are sticking with it though.
