This looks like theft. Why did they essentially cut your pay?
If I upvoted that post, what would happen to the money I'm "giving" you? Isn't it created when I upvote?
Who benefits monetarily from the old posts accumulating as Steemit grows?
There is a copyright violation/infringement in here somewhere.
You're right about the money not going anywhere. I just tried to upvote that 5 mo old post and the total did not change, but it looked like it accepted the vote. IDK
You make a good point. Perhaps an edit feature so the author can go back and edit for outside monetization like affiliate links as an example. If it's lost on steemit but being found in google search, the author still gets paid, and steemit still wins.
