There are two real issues that I see. The 7 day payout is a killer for content creators as everything dissappears from sight straight after that. Once it cant earn anymore nobody cares about it. So why would people produce really good lasting content since in a months time it will never be seen. On most platforms content takes a long time to reach an audience and the videos with millions of views are years old. We are encouraging instant gratification here which does not add up to consistency or quality.
If you keep producing the quality content then over time people discover you and your following grows leading to quicker and larger payouts. What we need is a 7 window for all votes recieved regardless of how old the content is.
The second issue is finding these people. Finding and supporting the good content creators so that they stick around and enjoy what they do. There are plenty of curation groups and initiatives for this but the creators tend to have to find them rather than being found. What you have done as an established user is put this person on the radar which is huge. Now it's not for me but I can appreciate the content that he has put together and if it was able to earn for the next few years would probably get decent daily payouts when there are more users on the site.
