I have been wondering - what happens to rewards after the first 7 day period. Like if someone upvotes a older post or comment I made? Is there a "2nd payout" later?

A little while back there were two payout periods, one after the first 24-36ish hours (it fluctuated depending on activity) and a second 30 days after the first paid out. After this second payout, nobody could vote on these posts anymore.
Now...there is only one payout period, 7 days after posting (technically 7.5 days, with the last 12 hours only allowing downvotes, not upvotes, to deal with people trying to game the system.) Currently, after this single payout period closes, people can still upvote the post, but there are no rewards actually applied to it...so there aren't really any rewards to do anything with. A vote cast like this, after payout closed on a post or comment (while giving no reward) does count as a vote and reduces their voting power.
Did that answer your question?
Yes, thank you!
