RE: How many posts does it take to have a winner? Lets look at top Steemit authors for an answer.

@biophil Your above point illustrates yet another reason that the current method of monetization may need a little tweaking . Posts are given 12 hours to make the cut before they're disincentivized. That's not even a full day and it seems like a very short window considering that the internet is a global network that operates on a 24/7 schedule. Given the fact your average person sleeps for 6 to 8 hours a day. It makes a post's window for discovery even smaller if you consider that some posts are made during off peak hours when most people are sleeping.

Yes, a global community might be getting ready for bed, sleep 8 hours, eat breakfast and shower, and get cut out by the time they turn on their computers. It should be 24 hours.

My thoughts exactly. I live on the western coast of the US in California and I have friends in both Australia and the UK. It's an -8:00 hour time difference from here to the UK and a +6:00 hour difference the other way to Australia. It's really not so unheard of in this day and age to have contact on a global scale with the click of a button and bridge the 14 hours as if we were all in the same room together.
