RE: Consensus Reached for Hardfork 17+18! The New Features are Yours on Thursday, March 30th at 11am EST!
Absolutely agree. Old posts should be rewarded and brought back into trending if somebody in 2 years finds it good enough to upvote or interact with. The chances are still low, but they should still be available.
This is how content creators make their living. All Youtubers and Bloggers make money off of their content as long as it stays up. That's how you build real income. Getting paid once or twice is no a good model for a content creator and smart content creators that produce quality content know this.
This needs to change.
Totally agree, again. I've said it many times before, the limited payouts create an ephemeral culture - not a long-term forward thinking culture.
Once Steemit grows by multiples it will make huge difference also not locking comments on old threads. That makes no sense. Art does not expire, recipes do not expire, music does not expire. People should still be able to vote, comment and the author get paid perpetually as long as it's up and generating votes.
Not only that it takes away the almost "Instant Money" appeal to get people started today. We live in a culture that wants instant results. There goes part of the appeal sadly for many people. So we lose 21 days of payout and have to wait a week. This to me in not an improvement as a content creator. One can only hope the price of Steem goes up to make up for this.
But I do love that we can have split payouts now.
Agree. I have YouTube videos that are 5 years old that are still being viewed daily (recipe cooking vids) and still earning money daily.
I hope this can be fixed at some point.
That's really the entire point of being in the content creation business, recurring income from a library of work.
