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