"7 day bullshit limit"
I agree. Is the content good on the last day but suddenly at midnight it becomes irrelevant? Even if people are still reading and voting? Heads up, steemit.
Here's a couple of sorta related pieces:

looks like the 7 day mindset that stems from the trow away newspaper era... On the internet everything is available until it is deleted, so steemit does demonetize us upfront? :-D
now, if steemit was merely (and only) a news or 'tabloid' website then a 7 day limit would maybe have made sense, yet for people write articles that will be still relevant 10 years from now this is a bit rediculous. also since new steemians join every day, and will read content that we created 12 months ago. Thats one hell of a lost oppertunity... But ok, the greedy cheating bot voters will exploit the crap out of it.
I would probably be ok if a vote would be worth 10 times less and the 7 day limit would be gone.. OR to have an option to set an article as 'unlimited / 7 day limit'
o well..
Thanks for those links. US gov aims to be the biggest online scammer once again...
