Biggest problem I see is no rewards on post over 7 days. Those post should continue to make money no matter how old there are. How are you going to get members to think long term platform and quality post when after 7 days they don't get paid for their post anymore. Seems very short term... Might be why everyone up votes their post and comments considering you only have 7 days to make money on them and then the chance is gone. With so many new people joining the platform why shouldn't you get paid for 80k new members viewing your quality product that were not there the month before. Think of how much content that has been posted here over the last year that is quality and not earning. I think you would see less people come here and then be gone if 2 months later if they were still earning on those older post. Long term thinking for the platform would mean long term for the members also which would mean long term earning on quality post that will continue to earn and pay out for new up
votes no matter how old they are.

Great thought. I agree with you 100%. The content creators should continue getting royalties for their original work.
That way people would be willing to put more thought and effort towards creation of high quality content.
Agree, some posts are still usefull even when a year old while others get old very quickly. It should be determined by users not some arbitrary date.
Well they could at lest allow you to promote your older post and then give you another 7 day pay out period and that way steemit will be getting the money from promoting and you get the new views and up votes.
well
Originally, rewards were distributed in two stages: after 24 hours and after 30 days. But in practice, there were few votes after a couple of days.
Older posts should still help you get new followers.
That sounds good but the platform changes often with all the new members coming you may have posted something a year ago that only 40k members could have seen that now can be pushed to 10 times that. You should at lest be able to promote old article you have written. Everyone wants the platform to change and not be so short term everyone just trying to make a quick buck but how are you going to get anyone to care about long term when long term is 7 days since that is the extent of your article earnings that is why people don't worry about long term and only up vote their own comments they make daily to the max. This is why I can't get real bloggers to come spend their time here because their blogs are making money consistently so they spend their time there. I like the platform but it has problems with only being short term that is why half the accounts I go threw and look at have not posted in over 8 months and if your going to make quality content you can make more money blogging on your own so this has turned into a post pictures content and bid bots.
