Back in May I attended the EOS VIP Party, where I also met some very interesting and cool fellow steemians. At the party, there was also plenty of delicious food offered. However, I've gotta admit... those sliders were pretty darn delicious, and perhaps by far my favorite!
And that got me thinking... you know, everyone ought to have a slider, even little minnows. We all deserve at least a chance to try one, or two, or three of these savory and deliciously delectable delights! π
And now part of that "dream" has finally come to fruition... I'd like to introduce you all to my latest TamperMonkey script: π
- enables a vote slider for steemians with over 72 SP
- provides better upvote notifications
- easily monetize expired content past payout by targeting active comments by the author instead
Trying to implement all this directly into the current steemit.com interface has certainly taken me for a bit of a spin. But then again, I've been conceptualizing some of these ideas for almost as long as I've been posting on STEEMIT!
Part 1: Why can't I have a vote slider too...
Since HF19 was released, one of the biggest pains felt by fellow steemians with under 500 SP is that they can't access the vote slider. Before HF19, it really wasn't such an issue. Given each vote cost 1/2% vote power at the time, and you could vote 40 times a day before reaching 80% vote power, sub 500 SP users would rarely find much use for the slider anyway.
Post-HF19, however, each vote was now worth 2%, and those same 40 votes would knock you right down to 20% vote power! That's probably fine for newer users with under 100 STEEM POWER who probably don't vote all that much yet anyway. As you grow, learn the ropes, and integrate and interact more with the STEEMIT community, you also tend to vote more. You recognize the value of voting up thoughtful or appreciative comments as well.
I mean, in the virtual world, what better way is there to "spread the love", have a "fist bump" or two, along with a quick "thank you". Tossing even a few cents on a comment says all that and more in spades! As such, this becomes second nature for more established users. For those just starting out, those options aren't even on the table... until NOW that is!
While alternate STEEMIT interfaces such as @jesta's chainbb.com or eSteem Mobile App users have offered the vote slider to lower SP users for a while now, it's never been available on STEEMIT.com itself! Of course, you also have to be comfortable sharing your "posting key" with other services as well. With this TamperMonkey script, that all changes, along with much more as you'll soon discover (and it all works directly on STEEMIT.com)...
First, I just wanted to make one thing clear. Lately many low SP users have experienced bandwidth issues interfacing with the blockchain. While there are several initiatives in the works to alleviate some of these issues, be aware that the more transactions you make on the STEEMIT blockchain (ie. more votes, especially many very small votes) the greater the chance you may be rate-limited for a period of time. If this happens to you, just wait a little while for your account to recover. Also consider voting a bit less frequently, and with more vote power as well.
You can check your current "Bandwidth Remaining" on steemd.com, or if you're hanging out in one of the Discord Chatrooms such as Whaleshares where WhaleBoT "lurks", π³he'llπ show you the approximate bandwidth you have remaining along with your vote power (ie. "whalebot vp alexpmorris").
Part 2: Why can't I monetize after 7 days?!
Your sweat, blood, and tears. Your hard work, your videos, your music, your art... It's timeless, it's priceless, why can't you monetize your "art" on the blockchain... FOREVER?! Sorry folks, after 7 days it's simply... "yesterday's news". ππ’
Now, I don't know about forever, but for now, unless the STEEMIT "powers that be" find reason to change this feature in an upcoming hard fork, you can continually monetize past works... through COMMENTS! While your posts may expire, post comment threads can continue indefinitely! I really started to think about this after HF19, when some comments I had written earned me more in payout than several of my earlier posts combined!
I still receive comments here and there on some of my past content, especially my more "popular" posts. And that's what the script looks to "monetize". In the example, you'll see that we missed the "opportunity" to vote on @nepd's "HairShares" post, as the active voting period had ended. However, there were still plenty of fresh comments by @nepd that had not yet expired!
As long as a post still contains at least ONE ACTIVE COMMENT, whether the post is 1 week or 6 months past payout, the "Past Payout Monetizer" will find and target THAT COMMENT for an upvote instead. And as simply as that, you can easily reward the author for their hard work, even if you've discovered it months after the first payout! Now, just for reference, this doesn't mean you should revisit all your old posts once a week with a fresh comment. However, back in the day when a video on our YouTube channel vlogolution went viral, people would continually leave comments on them, some even to this day!
I believe this dynamic will grow on STEEMIT as well, especially as more people understand the potential benefits. And if you still have people commenting on your past posts, there's one more incentive to leave a nice comment in response, even if it's just a quick thank you for appreciating your work!
SteemIt + YouTube = Steem...Q?!
Part of the reason I built this script was to also demonstrate a sort of "proof of concept". In order to really take this to the next level, I'll pivot over to @furion's recent post on his progress with steemQ and view.ly. In his post he states one of the key issues they face:
Fair and cost effective incentive system for node providers to store and stream content.
Now, I'm not saying I have every aspect of this completely worked out. But what if at least part of the rewards from a particular steemQ post (comments included) could be thought of as adding funds to a continuous faucet. Each stream provider could be paid some fraction of a cent per second of video or audio streamed. If the faucet "runs dry", viewers will be greeted with a message to that effect.
If the content is considered valuable enough, anyone can come in and add some more "upvote power" to a comment, even months later, and the video immediately comes back online again. In essence, it continues to produce for both content creators and content streamers, indefinitely! The power of that one vote may be sufficient to "keep the ball rolling", while supporting 1000s of additional views for others to enjoy.
The TamperMonkey Script
If you're also using my "Hide Resteems" script, be sure to update to the latest version. I made some additional tweaks to capture a few more edge cases. For both scripts, capturing all of STEEMIT.com's state changes is a bit tricky. While I believe they now catch 95%+ of the page changes and dynamic updates, some might still slip through. For example, if for some reason you're missing the RESTEEM button, just try refreshing the page.
If you plan to use both scripts together, also make sure that "Hide Resteems" loads first! I tried dealing with the conflicts (mostly jquery scope-related issues), but due to the implementation, this seems to be the easiest solution for now. If you happened to install "Hide Resteems" (HR) after "Steemit Post Vote Slider and Past Payout Monetizer" (SPVS), go to HR's "Settings -> Position", and make sure the order (position number) is lower for HR than for SPVS. If it's running in the correct order, when you click the TamperMonkey extension logo, this is what you should see:
For those who are already familiar with TamperMonkey and want to try jumping right in, you can easily install either or both scripts directly from greasyfork.org:
Script #1: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/31120-hide-resteems
Script #2: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/31619-steemit-post-vote-slider-and-past-payout-monetizer
You can also find both scripts on github.com as well:
Script #1: https://github.com/alexpmorris/HideResteems
Script #2: https://github.com/alexpmorris/SteemitPostVoteSliderAndPastPayoutMonetizer
For those unfamiliar with TamperMonkey, it's a very popular userscript manager, available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox. The scripts can easily be added to your TamperMonkey "Dashboard" as just another script to run, complete with source code as well so you can be quite certain there's no tamper "monkey business" going on! π

Finally...
So with that, fellow steemians, I leave this in your capable hands. I welcome you all to share your thoughts and ideas on what I've built and release here, and I hope these scripts serve to further empower you all along this collective journey into the "gift economy" we call STEEMIT. Just remember to stay humble and "keep it real" my friends!
"With great power comes great responsibility", or something like that, so "they" say...
Also just wanted to throw in this last little blurb... In my previous post, I had rudimentally compared the valuation of STEEMIT to FaceBook and SNAP. @knircky just wrote an excellent article that goes much deeper than my short bit towards the end of that post. He compares the valuations of STEEMIT, Facebook, twitter, etc versus active monthly users:
Steem: 250m / 100k = $2500
Facebook : 485b/2B = $243
Twitter: 14b/328m = $42.68
Snapchat: 17b/255m = $66.67
And remember, STEEM / SP holders are collective owners in the platform. If STEEMIT can achieve just a small fraction of these valuations... well, here's the link to "evaluate" for yourselves:
Link: The value of Steem and its users: 1 Steem user = 10 Facebook users!
Once again, it's always possible I've missed something, so if you have any issues, or even just to share your experience with these scripts, please be sure to comment below!
π And as always, I appreciate your upvote, your follow and all your comments! π
@alexpmorris, thanks for making the slider & post payout monetizer - tremendous work! :)
thanks @applecrisp, and for the resteem as well! :)
Hi, thanks for your interesting post. Welcome to my blog @evgenya
This was an excellent article again, thanks a whole bunch for the information, it is packed!
I have definitely been enjoying the slider idea since its inception and continue to do so.
Namaste :)
thanks for the kind words @eric-boucher, and now people don't have to wait anymore for 500SP just to access it! of course, I'm quite a bit above that now, yet still loving both scripts myself for the added functionality they provide! :)
Can't be LIVE I missed this one @alexpmorris!!! You are a man of so many talents. This post just went from good, to great to insane!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! For being here, for sharing your knowledge on so many levels and for simply being a genius.
We were talking about expired post comment value in SMG just today, which by the way if you ever have time to bless us with your wisdom we'd love to have you there.
Oh and I am so excited for SteemQ to come out as you know we've had our issues with YouTube censorship and deleted numerous times!
Anyway.. man we love you! :)
thanks for the kind words @kenistyles! I'm sure you're well aware of our YouTube stories as well.
I'm kind of blanking on SMG, though (the link just went back to my post). Is that another discord guild? Many of us are already on discord too. Definitely worth stopping by one of these days if you get a chance! :)
ps. dunno about "genius" though, if I start thinking that way I always seem to soon after land right on my head! lol
Bumps n bruises build us brother!
Lol yeah I read all about you guys, I'm so happy to talk to someone who has the genius to create solutions as you do!
No it's just another Facebook group but hoping to grow and offer more than post promotion. I'll send you an invite.
I've been meaning to explore discord and your prompting me more so it moves up one on the to do's!
Just juggling diapers and doing my best blogging from the iPhone for now! π¬
Your vote slider is an awesome tool! Wish I found it earlier! Thanks for all of your hard work!
thanks for the kind words @therockman, glad you're finding it useful! :)
it seems for some reason, some of the images from this post "disappeared" from the steemimages.com CDN, so here they are again...
A very interesting read there @alexpmorris and well presented. Thanks for sharing.
glad you found it helpful @selfbuiltcamper. you're still a bit small for the slider to help you yet, but the more you understand about STEEMIT, the faster you'll be up to speed with the rest of us! Keep on Steemin'! :)
Thats some awesome work you've done there! I was wondering why I wasn't able to delegate a percentage of my SP to upvotes via a slider. Now I know... Im just shy of 500 SP! But I will check this out in the meantime.
We will see how it works out.
thank you for the kind words @sreepyeldarb! so, how's it "working out" for you so far? cool having a slider, ay?! :D
Well @alexpmorris, I was going to check the script out yesterday. But upon importing more steem into my account and powering up, I have noticed that with just 500 SP I can now use the vote slider without the script. So as good as the idea sounds for lower SP accounts, I dont think I'll need it.
None the less, again, very good work and I wish other users all the best!
thanks for the kind words @sreepyeldarb! I'll just add though that even if you already have a 500SP+ slider now (congrats, btw!), you might still want to give it a spin nonetheless, as you may find some of the other features quite useful (and more visually appealing) as well! :)
Very interesting post. I had overlook some part the first time I read it.
Great post and great tools thank you for sharing all of this with us ;)
thanks @road2wisdom! :)
Thank you so much for this article. Some of the tools are invaluable :)
thank you @yoda1917, hope you get some great use out of them!
" While your posts may expire, post comment threads can continue indefinitely! I really started to think about this after HF19, when some comments I had written earned me more in payout than several of my earlier posts combined!",
This part of the post is really valuable, because most of the people dont know about this information, and even i got to know this from your post, excellent informative post for all steemians, thanks a lot sir, you are proving to be a mentor for all of us.
Yes, it's good you caught that and pointed it out. I've said this many times in other posts as well. People really underestimate the value of leaving thoughtful comments. Not only is it a terrific way to interact and "get noticed" by others (IF done properly), but sometimes you may more often than not find some pleasant "gifts" waiting for you as well! :)
This is super freaking rad and interesting. I'm really wanting payouts after 7 days!!! Love the solutions this offers.
thanks for the kinds words @acrobutterfly! and btw, I already gave you one on your "When I was 18, I Ran Away and Joined the Circus" post! ;) lol
This is awesome, especially the monetizing on past posts feature! It's such a great way to help out minnows too who are looking to build up their SP. Thanks for sharing & also for including the gif demonstrations, it really made things so simple & easy to digest :)
Now gonna make sure my HR is up-to-date and that I install SPVS ;)
thanks @theywillkillyou, and thank you for the randowhale vote too! glad to hear you're also taking advantage of "Hide Resteems" as well. I don't think even I realized how useful and handy these tools would turn out to be! lol
and yeah, as @incrediblesnow mentioned... be aware that randowhale lowered his price to 1 SBD now!
Very good post and thoughts shared. My voting power is always set at 100% and since hf19 my total power dropped to around 15-20%. I don't really care about that and just keep upvoting stuff I like.
Now I'm off to read the latest about SteemQ. Thanks
Excellent and very informative article. Thanks for sharing with us.
thank you @fenequedvm, hope you get much great use from the script!
hooooyaaaaah! the youtube guy is here! thanks for the slider! great article!
stay humble and "keep it real"! - I like that one too! :)))
glad you're enjoying it @pinaynomad, also came in handy to upvote a few of your past payout posts as well! ;)
ooooohhhhh thanks Alex! You have a very kind soul! Can't wait to see more of your posts! I wanna see you on my feed every day. :))
very good post.. I'll give the slider a try.. plus very good info on the expired posts. Thank you
got this up and running on opera browser.. works great
great to hear it and thanks for the feedback! good to know it works well on opera as well. also, thanks for the resteem! :)
Awesome tool, thank you from a great many Steemians who I know will use it.
Is it OK on a Mac asks a code dunce.
You got an upvote & rsteem from me
Steem on beyond the moon, we can take it way further than that. Good luck to us all.
hi @pqlenator, thanks for the kind words, and for the resteem! :) I haven't personally tried it on a Mac, but I don't see why it shouldn't work, especially in Chrome or Firefox. But please let me know either way how it goes!
Not only did you deliver delish sliders, @alexpmorris, but also double WHOPPERS! Thank you for your hard work.
Nom noms and and cheers to you! This pic of our lunch seems fitting.. : P
thank you @michellectv, so kind of you to say! lol
You put so much care and effort into your scripting projects for smaller Steemians (like myself) to benefit and blossom to their fullest Steemit potential, I absolutely should say it! ; )

upvote & resteem
your welcome @manycoolthings, and thanks for the resteem!
this minnow just gained her slider bar! and it is ahhhmazing :)
I'm glad you're enjoying it @mrslauren, I remember how thrilled I was too when I first got mine! :)
really liked your last article too btw, somehow came at just the right time for me. ;)
Hey man, you do not need to transfer 2SBD to randowhale as it was now offering promotion, you just need to send 1SBD only!
Refer here : https://steemit.com/steemit/@randowhale/randowhale-is-now-only-1-steem-sbd-per-vote-spread-the-news
Upvote me or send me some little tips if you like my remind!
yes, thank you for the heads up @incrediblesnow, though it was actually a "gift" from @theywillkillyou. I've let him know as well about the price reduction! :)
Some nice ideas in there, thanks for sharing your creativity!
I wanted to use JQuery in my find similar posts add-on for Steemit, but didn't find a way to get it working as I can't load external scripts due to Steemit's Browser security policy. I saw you mentioned Jquery conflicts, but how did you use Jquery in the first place? I looked in your resteem code but don't see any Jquery..
thank you @ura-soul! out of all the issues I faced, injecting jquery wasn't one of them. not sure why you're missing it, but jquery's all over the place (starting with the @require line, and all the $() calls are jquery). When I mentioned conflicts, the problem was that the script was always loading before STEEMIT's jquery kicked in, and if "Hide Resteems" loaded after SPVS, it would overwrite the SPVS version which needed to link to jquery-ui. I tried encapsulating, but then (as I had expected) some of the events could no longer access that scope. Maybe I was missing something simple, but ideally I would have liked to use STEEMIT's jquery (tried various @run-at options, but it didn't help).
Aha - I was using this completely different tampermonkey extension that also hides resteems - I wrongly assumed it was yours.
I've installed yours now and can see the require line.
When I required Jquery in my own code I got a browser error due to cross-domain access of the script file. Maybe I'll look at that again now I have your code. thanks!
Gotta love programming! Or should I say 'Problem Solving' lol
Some very important features here, which will help make steemit more user friendly. Does this work also for Mobile?
I haven't tested it on mobile, but there's certainly no reason it shouldn't work if you can install TamperMonkey on a mobile version of Chrome or Firefox if it supports installing the TamperMonkey extension.
If you do decide to give it a go and get it to run successfully, please share your experience!
This makes a lot of sense to me. Which I find incredible but it really does. If you get a comment on any other platform, that sends a signal that the content still has value to someone. Why not?
Restemmed and upvoted. I need to digest this completely.
I know a lot of people including myself as a newbie hold back on creating 'good' long form content until we have a following and resort to short posts because we know they are time limited. This could change that assumption for new users.
my thoughts exactly! I hope more people start realizing this as well. In fact, my understanding of chainbb.com is that it's even designed around the idea of highlighting posts with active recent commenting activity. So you can say this is sort of an extra twist on that idea that seeks to further reward the original author as well!
Hey, Alex! Thank you so much for making the slider tool. I not only downloaded and activated it, I gave you a 62% upvote -- just because I could :)
thanks @writewords, but I just don't get why I keep creating tools and writing posts that shoot myself in the foot! lol
I know, right? Nah, it's for the better because a healthy STEEM is best for all of us! (if you put that on a greeting card, you owe me!! π) βοΈ
yeah, just kidding around, it's all good - glad it's working well for you! :)
Nah, I assumed as much. Someone with your level of genius isn't likely a dick who can't take a joke.
I object though! I'm no genius, but perhaps just a bit obsessively compulsive once π‘ an idea π‘ pops into my head! lol
semantics
wow, I haven't seen tamper monkey before now, really cool stuff. I have to look more into this.
I also never thought to upvote a comment for old posts, top idea!
cheers.
thanks @the-fillosopher! btw, I think I'd like to come up with a way to upvote your profile icon next! lol
haha, cheers.
lol
Hi. I use Microsoft Edge and it doesn't seem to work for that even though I've done what you said and all. It has a little monkey and 1 in the corner, but the slide doesn't ever show up for upvotes. I also tried it on firefox which I don't use at all and I was able to do the slide one time. Maybe it is user error?
there's a comment thread above started by @francisk about that from several months ago regarding Microsoft Edge, and yes, there are apparently some issues using tampermonkey with Edge. Unfortuantely, nothing I could do about that except to recommend using Chrome or Firefox instead.
On firefox, it gives me the yellow upvote button but when I push it, it just gives me a full upvote. No slider. Any advice?
looks like this was a new issue. I just released an v0.15 update. Hopefully I got it all correct! :)
Here's the summary:
Please let me know if you still have problems after you grab the latest update.
Yea! Awesometastic! It looks like it is working! :) Bravo.
great to hear, glad it's working for you now! :)
Thanks for the reply! I'll try it out on Firefox and look up the other comment. :)
Hi great post, i actually did as you said here. I have the bar and started to comment old posts, im actually making more money by the reply of the steemers!!!! thanks for the info, its still valid and the slide bar, had to change the value of minvest in order to make it work for me.
Glad it's working well for you, but just be aware, as described in the article, that there is a reason for the minimum value. If you've lowered it, you're much more likely to face the following problem:
Lol my last reply was for someone else, my mistake.
The reply for: more votes, especially many very small votes) the greater the chance you may be rate-limited for a period of time. is this you are right, i was upvoting with a bot, massive upvotes, more than 40/day. After the slide i decided to put the voting power in 100% and its taking forever to regenerate, now its 50.1% and up and 3 days not making any upvote, just replying old posts.
Results of this strategy? im making more profits for the next days commenting than upvoting or posting new material!!! thanks to you i intend to keep this strategy until i learn and see how the others create quality content so i can make one, hopefully.
Ok, the reason im doing this is as i said in the post is being grateful with those who helped me, not just the value in $$. But again thank you for the support :-)
A little bit 'late' to the game but isn't the benefit of bittorrent that the more popular a video is the faster every new user gets it? Does IPFS have this too? I mean I was pretty impressed with bitchute which works on webtorrent, but yes someone has to seed it!
IPFS works in a similar way, but no one has really much of a financial incentive to store and stream such content, where even a short video can still require several hundred megabytes to store (not to mention to stream). And just because many people are watching it, doesn't mean they are in turn seeding it and maintaining it for others to view as well.
That's true, thanks for the clarification!
I've been asking myself this question but actually this keeps information up-to-date! Noone says you can use your old posts, update them and re-publish them! It takes a while but then the genius of Steemit gets you! It's a paradigm shift.
But I have also some other ideas in store for this. Since I'm also a musician, it can happen that your track is done, it is perfect. Now what? Well, others can resteem or copy it but you could follow the root, ie. the original with something like @Cheetah or Microsofts PhotoDNA for remixes. This could also work very well for video I think!
music, video, and pretty much all "timeless" works of art can potential benefit. I would envision at some point that ongoing revenues could also be redirected back to the original creator as well for including songs, images, etc as a small usage royalty. There are already at least a few initiatives working on such models. The main difference here is that on STEEM, there hasn't really been a "clearer way" to do that without the need to directly "charge" people for it.
Ha! Cool, I just finished a post about it, will post tomorrow :)
And here it is!
Wow! My post got truncated, there just 10%, htf can that happen? :( Sad...
Thank you so much for your effort for these things !
πΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈπΈ
your welcome @akkha, hope you get some great use out of them!
Thank you so much !
that's a great guide, i have to check out tampermonkey as soon as possible ;-)
also resteemed it!
thanks @webresultat, glad you found it helpful and thanks for the resteem!
Great post. Chock-full-a-info. Thanks. Full upvote
glad you found it helpful @dougkarr, and for the "full upvote"! :D
you're a genius homie Im going to checkout zis tampermonkey
thanks for the kind words @stargarden, but as I replied to someone else...
"I object though! I'm no genius, but perhaps just a bit obsessively compulsive once π‘ an idea π‘ pops into my head! lol"
Alot of smart people hit a moment where they think, "Damn im just a dumb monkey."
yeah, tell me about it... that's how I keep on feeling trying to compile the bitshares-core on windows for the past day! lol
Thats a good idea and even better post. I also enjoyed the link for the user value post. Thanks
Saudaçáes
glad you're founding it helpful @rcartax!
Thank you for the info. I really was missing my slider lately and I didn't know why it was missing. Now I know, thanks.
ah so you must have been using eSteem perhaps? or did you power down?
Good news, I use tamper monkey plugin in chrome, keep going :) follow, upvote, resteem.
great, you're good to go... hope you get much use out of it!
This is absolutely pure NEXT LEVEL!!! I am excited at all the powerful stuff that is taking place! More people are gonna wish they were on this bandwagon :D @alexpmorris
thank you again @awarenessraiser! Ironically, the people will probably regret it the most... those we've tried to convince to "check it out" but have yet to take the initiative, that is... until everyone else starts talking about it! lol
These are very clever features! Well done.
thank you for the kind words, @old-guy-photos! happy "vote slidin'" to ya! well, think you already have the slider, but maybe you'll also appreciate the other features as well! :)
The reason why you can't continue to monetize is because it is not financially feasible! Great article as always :)
thank you @mystifact, and that's the beautiful of it.. now people do have a way to monetize past posts, via their recent comments!
Sir I find your article very useful and helpful. Hope we can get more like this from you. Following you now. Thanks :)
thank you for the kind words @rosher72, and for the follow! :)
Thanks for the useful information @alexpmorris!
Being a minnow or less, this helps quite a bit in the search for Steemit good news.
I usually have Steemnow.com open, but will be using steemd.com as well now to gather info, cheers!
glad that little tidbit helped you as well @fractalizer! I also took a moment to upvote some of your cool fractal designs too! :)
Thank you Alex! Do you know if there is a plan or suggestion for groups being implemented anytime in the near future? @woodywood143 and I used to run the only teaching group on TsΕ« before it closed, teaching how to make fractals.
if you mean communities and such, there are some new community features proposed for HF20. However, you may also want to consider starting up a Discord Chat group, or perhaps even easier, you could add a channel to @rawbinhutt "Looking for Niche" discord chat room.
Thanks Alex, glad to hear it about the community features, I will look into the Discord part of things, that's good, but away from general feed if trying to get new users for a program or art style.
Thanks again for the information!
I think what you do is great , only one point ...........dont call people minnows they can get you wrong :)
I actually added "Minnow" after the fact, because I wasn't sure if everyone seeing the title realized that it meant sub 500 SP users could also get a slider! lol
I know why you did it , was just a jouk :)
I admire the way you help people in steemit with your tools.
thanks for the #hairshares mention @alexpmorris!
you're welcome @nepd and great initiative as well, deserves all the exposure we can give it! :)
Good job on your scripts! Interesting to see how the use of your past payouts monetizer tool picks up. Might be the best current way to support "old" content, that's still valuable.
thanks @rawbinhutt, hope it does help bring some new life into great older content!
I found your post very usefull and full of informations as i am a newbie. But the title also says "here comes steemtube" which i really didnt understand. Is there a steem website like youtube? As i want to post videos than just photos or articles? Can you help me here?
you can already embed youtube and vimeo videos into your posts. there are also initiatives such as steemQ by @furion to make a sort of steemit "YouTube". However, monetization is always an issue for such content (and most content, really), since the work isn't suddenly "worthless" after 7 days, just because the post can no longer being upvoted for additional value. This script demonstrates how such content can still continue to be monetized, albeit to a slightly lesser degree, but continually monetized nonetheless.
Thank you for your time.
I find some of the older posts very valuable and upvote them!!
Thanks for the info, I'm a little taxed learning steemit to get fancy but have this page bookmarked for future reference. And wil try some day.
Cheers
when you're ready for it @codypanama you'll know it, and it'll be right there ready and waiting for ya! ;)
