RE: Seven Compelling Reasons to Enable "Perpetual EDIT" for Content Creators

in #steem7 years ago

Very, very valid points @creatr
I have been getting a lot of new traffic to my very old posts - the tutorials mostly - and I want to edit them, possibly remove some of the anecdotes and ahem strong language (LOL) to give it a better polish. I can't do that and it's frustrating! I don't want to keep spinning my own content!

Sort:  

Yes I think this is the key point. You are being forced to regurgitate content to fix minor but important parts of the blog.

If reposts are frowned on then make them less of a requirement?

Good work here @creatr !

agreed 100%!
In addition to being able to edit, we should be allotted a certain amount of posts that we get to select which can potentially earn way past the 7 day or 1 month mark. Thanks to google searches, some of my posts from nearly a year ago are getting traffic. That is potential income that I'm not earning from material that's probably bringing people to the site.

Yeah the earning thing is trickier to work out. Although it seems that this is a loss of earnings, hopefully these people will check out your latest stuff and vote on that. For now it may be an update of an old post with a few changes! :)

He has good points, we just need a public , plain text, change log to go with that. To preserve trust between content creators and readers. I posted a longer comment to that point as well. Thanks for resteeming this post - never would have found it without that.

Thanks for chiming in.

The blockchain itself is public. It is its own "change log." While I do not have one, I believe utilities exist to examine the history of any post. If not, they can most certainly be created, and so there is no possibility of deception, even now.

Thanks for the affirmation, dear. Yes, the frustration mounts... :O

Oh, I also echo @steempowerpics appreciation for bringing this to his attention! :D
