I am not sure that I like the 7 day payouts proposal. But if somebody could educate me as to the benefits of it (in lay man's terms), I think I might get comfortable with the idea.
Anyways, it's great to see you guys working so hard on determining the future path of Steem and Steemit. Really grateful to be a part of this community :)
It would allow people to promote their posts outside of Steemit. That, in turn, promotes Steemit. I'm not sure I like the longer payout either (would prefer having an an option to select one or the other), but we can try it.
I think it will give your post more opportunity to get rewards as long as people change their voting behavior to vote on content that is a few days old.
If nobody changes their behavior then there will be little to no change in rewards (other than taking a bit longer to be paid).
That's true. I hadn't considered that.
Interesting thought but only if people don't use resteem or if resteem is separated from the blog (I strongly support the latter). But this is a UI issue not related to the post.
