Just an idea for a future Hardfork regarding the resurrection of old posts.
What if we could resurrect old posts to be monetized for a week more by just resteeming them?
What I mean by that is an idea I had regarding old but relevant posts that happen to be dead for months or even years.
My idea:
After a posts is "dead", someone who is not the original author decides to resteem it as it's subjects seems to still be relevant, launching the post in a new week of monetizing potential where new people can see it again and vote accordingly, with the payout coming a week after the resteem as if it was a brand new post.
Most of the income obviously goes to the original author, but the resteemer gets a share of the new cycle's income(about 1%, 5% or even 10%), but I still have no issue with being nothing at all, having 100% of the income going to the author and new curators(people who voted in a previous monetizing cycle would have no curation benefit if changing the vote).
A limit could be established to not start new cycles of monetization immediately after the previous one, establishing a minimal threshold of 1, 2 or even 4 weeks between last payout and new resteem to activate it.
I had this idea when I was seeing old posts from over a year ago with programming tutorials and other content that keeps it's relevance long after their payout.
But those are just ideas. Resteem it and comment below if you like them.
