You make a very valid criticism of the payout period, and are not the first to observe the value of evergreen content.
I also would like to see content be rewardable more easily indefinitely. There are ways to do it presently, but they are not obvious nor as simple as upvoting. Personally, when I am on an old post I just comment and await reply, which I can then upvote instead of the OP. It's a hack, but it gets votes to creators for old content.
Also, the pics you post are useful - but they're huge! Perhaps smaller pics might be less imposing.
Thanks!
I flag trash. You have received a flag.
