Nice video. Quite interesting too. Personally, I believe that having a 30 day limit for payments is self-defeating for steemit. Surely archived material should be valued. In real life of course, wines mature and acquire value, paintings and so on. I have asked in a post recently if we could have an index, so that we can return to posts later. If these posts are to be of lasting value, then they must be 'valued' for more than 30 days surely. There will be people who join in 31 days or longer who may want to interact with previous posts and may confer far better value to the post, than there ever was 31 days previous.
However, very handy to know this. Thank you again for this information. Upvoted !
It depends what kind of a platform Steemit wants to be. It cannot be all things to all people. This is why we have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit etc they each cater to a different niche.
Steemit at the moment is a good destination to discover newly created content because that has the biggest incentive. It therefore gives preference to certain types of content such as news.
Most people will view my tutorials long after the payouts have stopped. So Steemit isn't the best place for me to put them really.
The developers of Steem are juggling a hugely complex set of interactions. One small change has a ripple effect through the whole system. These effects can't be predicted 100% until they are live.
The hardest part is making the system hard to game. I do not envy them in this task.
It's true that it cannot be all things to all people. But if steemit is purporting to ascribe value to blogs/posts then it cannot say that what is valuable today (29th August), is not valuable on the 29th September. It should have some component of payment that pays after say, 6 months and perhaps even after 5 years. If it wants people to remain in steemit, this would fit in with the business model, as people would be loathe to leave, if they knew they had their forthcoming 6 monthly payment to come in a couple of months' time. It would fit in with the ethos of their company. Of course, I wouldn't want steemit to hold back massive percentages but a suitable percentage would be appropriate. It would also provide further stability to the company in the long term. It would also give a chance for 'failed' posts (where the poster had perhaps worked very hard, but posted at the wrong time etc) to subsequently become successful posts. So there are a number of reasons why they should do this, IMHO.
Of course, steemit is still in Beta stage so can address this issue.
I think posts should earn after 30 days and accept comments. A lot of them will still be relevant then. For things like tutorials there could be an option to 'pin' them so they don't disappear from your feed.
I've noticed any of mine earning anything after the first day. It would be good to have a view of any posts that have recently earned something. I would expect we will get more stuff like that as Steemit evolves
This is really good information to know. Steemit is starting to make more sense now. Thank you. :)
Very pleased to hear it.
Hope you don't mind I've posted this as a demo quality content on the new steem support website running at http://www.steemsupport.com We need more content like this. I invite you to create an contributor account and to start posting this type of videos yourself for the community!
Fame at last !! :-)
I'd be interested to know what steemsupport.com does cryptojoy. Can you let us know?
Thanks fo the info.
Good explanation, does not bring the whales to my @anjoke site, but still, nice. Thanks for that one.
thank you ! appreciate the videos !
Thank you for the nice video. Very helpful!
I didn't know that, thanks for explaining!
An Easter Egg in Steemit? Nice one Cyril. Nice one son, let's have another one Cheers
Next video coming later today.
I'm wondering what the underlying thought is for this. How can steemers capitalize on this second payoff? Or is it really just for straggling up votes?
It's good for people who have an audience outside of Steemit. Say if I post an article an then send a message to my mailing list. Some people might not open the email for a few days, meaning they will vote later and I still get paid. I'm sure there are more use cases, that's just one that sprung to mind.
I think 30 days limit is a quite low period of time. Knowledge it´s not old after 30 days of posted. But the social network have to put a limit of time. Maybe 60 or 90 days can be a better time. The time will tell us.
I was looking at post trending 30 days for examples of 30 day payout, and saw some new elements. So what's a "boost" payment? For that matter what's this new promote key?
That button has literally only just appeared in the last 24 hours. I'll put that on the list of videos to do :)
I did find a connection. When you promote your post it's called a boost payment. I'm not sure what you get for it. As of right now, it's only effective before the first payout...
