Steemit Tip: How To Reward Good Articles ~AFTER~ The Payout Period Has Expired
"Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom."

Have you ever seen this error message?
"STEEM_UPVOTE_LOCKOUT_HF17: Cannot increase payout within last twelve hours before payout."
Sorry, You Have Been Locked Out!

It's a great article...
It was well thought out, painstakingly researched, and curated with lovely images. You found the article fascinating and informative. You desperately want to reward the author for his or her hard work and quality content.
Sadly, that article only earned 73 cents, and THE PAYOUT PERIOD HAS ENDED...
Meanwhile, dilettantes with friends in high places are publishing junk, gaming the system, and walking away with tens or hundreds in STEEM and SBD...
Where is the equity in that?
Late Rewards Are Still Possible...

Fear not.
You can reward any great content creator here on Steemit, no matter how long ago their article may have been published.
That's right, you no longer have to be disappointed when you come across a great article after the payout period has expired.
Just do what I do:
Leave a comment like this under the article:
Leave a comment like this... (Screenshot by @creatr)
When your favored author responds,
upvote the heck out of his comment to reward him for his outstanding work.
This works for any Steemit article,
no matter how old. (For example, you can reward me for any article in 📚My Vast Library📚 in this fashion... Just sayin'! 😉)
Now that you know what to do, go for it! Reward all those deserving articles that never made it to the trending page!

~FIN~
P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.

That is a very good idea :) i will use that :)
Good on 'ya! :D
Testing :) I upvoted one of your old comments in this post and saw no $ apply so I'm thinking it has to be a fresh comment :)
Very impressive that you figured this out :)
Greetings, my dear, and Thank You for taking the trouble to check this out...
Actually, AFAIK, it must be a recent comment (like this one that I'm writing now! ;) for you to be able to "reward" my older posts...
In other words, the concept works as follows:
I hope that clarifies?
I constantly amaze myself at how I can write something, find it perfectly clear to myself, and yet leave my readers confused... <Deep sigh!>
Thanks so much for caring! :D <3
Deep sigh, lol. I missed this again!
I made reference to your HBOT comment. Hope you see that one re: Paul.
No worries, Thank you for your consideration!
I'll continue praying for Paul to be sure; I hope he reads or has someone read all the good will messages. We need him!
Hello..
@steem-samiam I'm waiting for you at Discord
Thanks..
Sorry I missed this post when it was current, but I would like to continue supporting your work. If you reply to this comment, I will give your reply a good vote. :)
PS - I resteemed this post using Busy.org. Steemit won't allow you to resteem old pieces.
Cool! Glad I mentioned this article, Thanks! ;)
Thank you for your support! :D
That's a great idea, but I don't think anyone would want to do that. For the 1+ month that I've been in steemit, I've realized that you get upvoted not on how great your content is, but how high your sp is to reciprocate the gesture and how long you've been in a community. Very few people sincerely upvote good contents. I've seen junk content having tens of dollars and I keep wondering what I can do to get seen so that my original content will get at least 1sbd. But the truth is that, if you're just starting out in steemit, regardless of how informative your content may be, it may never get the needed attention. If people like you that would have a desire to curate a past great content are many, some minnows may stand a chance of making it here.
It would be nice if more people, especially whales, adopted this attitude.
I think there are "good whales" out there... But we all have the problem that there is only so much time in a day, and only so many people we can meaningfully interact with.
Thanks for taking the time to share your outlook with us! :D
Thanks for the response. But i'll have to bother you a bit. I know you've been on steemit for quite a long time. Please, what can a minnow do to get noticed here? I comment alot on other people's posts daily and I've also set my reward to be converted fully to sp 100%. What else do you think i should do that will give me a chance to climb higher? Steemit is really getting harder with each passing day!
No bother, I'm happy to try and answer sincere questions...
Simply put, I don't really know? What you are doing is certainly important, and keep it up. I feel similar frustrations even after being here for almost two years now.
I think the best advice would be to look for some whales that you have genuinely shared interests with, and cultivate a relationship with them.
We all have the problem that there are limited hours in the day, and it is difficult to add "new people" to our set of folk that we interact with...
I wish you the best!
Very nice i like it
Thanks.
I never thought to do that. It's really smart though. Thanks for the idea!
You're so welcome, m'dear! :D
Good tip, my friend.
:)
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best and that's a good one!
Thank you, @meesterboom! :D
I know the pain of spending 40+ hours on a post with video only to gross $0.69. Will it happen to someone else? You bet!
Indeed it can be frustrating...
Then, occasionally, the opposite will happen. Something that came out in a creative flurry suffers a "hit and run" by a whale, and I've got fifty bucks I did not expect... ;)
Thanks for weighing in! :D
Yes!! I do that!!! I'm glad you are letting others in on it though. I don't know how many times I've read a post, commented and then went to upvote and the upvote wouldn't work. It's then that I notice the date. So when the person replies I give them my best upvote.
Thanks @creatr.
So glad to discover a kindred spirit in this quest! :D
Thanks for letting me know. ;)
