RE: *** GIVEAWAY *** I'm enrolling for steembasicincome - I will sponsor somebody for free.

in #basicincome7 years ago (edited)

SteemIt itself is a great project - and like you said there's been some nice projects pop up within the platform.

For me i just think it's great to be able to earn by doing something I'd do anyway - not so much the blogging, but the commenting, social interaction, curation, etc. You end up doing that elsewhere for free.

I made a comment on a reddit post recently, that's since had 1200+ upvotes.

I cursing myself that I didn't do that on steem!

good luck with your steem endeavours.

Sort:  

I have deliberately tried to reduce my tech dependance over the years and have never really used social media on a large scale except for reading. But I know I have experiences worth sharing and being able to earn valuable cryptos is the cherry on top that will hopefully keep me motivated to write about them.

Was that 1200 within 7 days though?
I found you through an older article which I would have upvoted for if it was worth anything. I think 7 days is too short to decide value.

Let's see steemit reach its full potential!

it was 1200 within about half a day.... would have been nice here :)

I agree 7 days is a bit too short - but I read an article somewhere here where somebody explained why that limitation is there. Because the reward pool is limited - and all the posts that earn rewards get paid out a share of the reward pool - if you allow older posts then it just means that newer posts earn less - so the 7 day limitation is imposed to encourage the creation of new content.

But I agree - i think older posts should be paid for new upvotes - I've come across so many old posts that have helped me understand steem, and those guys deserve my reward for helping me.

I also notice that you can't edit posts that are more than 7 days old, and can't delete.

Out of curiosity - what was the older article?

one of the issues i have with steemit is that it's very hard to get traction on blog posts - even getting a view is challenging.

I believe it was about Keepass for android. I can remember if searched within steemit or elsewhere including steemit in the search but guess your article came up top.

Maybe a separate reward pool for old posts could be made.

No edit and delete you say.. mm better get it right then. Suppose it has a purpose in preventing republishing work, although it hurts the honest edits in the process.

For me it is all a plus, just happy to meet all the different communities here.
