You are only rewarded for upvoting within 12 hours. Upvotes beyond that count for a long-term 30 day payout, but aren't rewarded for curation.
Μy humble opinion is that it must be changed! It is fair that the curators get rewarded for their finds after 12 hours as well !!! Why not? The system right now don't give motivation for curators to extract quality content after the 12 hour span... This post was an exception! It must get the rule that good content will eventually survive !!! ...good content must survive regardless of the heroes out-there....
i absolutely agree. This post is as useful today as it was a year ago
Minnow here. Heck, I'm reading this now and I still find it as useful as ever.
I agree with you there. My guess is the current algorithm doesn't scale over such a long period, which would mean people voting after 3 days, let alone 3 weeks, get nothing. So there would have to be a separate curation reward algorithm for the extended period. Perhaps they are working on it and it'll come with the next Hard Fork. Wish @theoretical would step in with some insights.
