I defiantly agree that seven days is quit limiting. However, Steemit is paying the Author. If you want rewards after seven days it will have to be donation. Which, anyone can donate and everyone here should take note that an up vote after seven days has the same value as Face Book "Like". I think it may also be a built in failsafe that one Author cannot take all the cookies from the cookie jar, if you will. I am also for this article, well written as it is, I am also, on a smaller note somewhat in disagreement.

Have a good one!
Q

How is it even possible that one author would get 100% of the reward pool? This week some article about an MRI scan made about $15K and that's probably not even 10% of the reward pool this week.

I saw that article about the MRI scan. I thought to myself, How hard would it be to build a reputation, fake and ailment and Cash In! After a few heart string photos, Resteems and Upvotes allover the place and BAM! I obviously have know idea if that is the case with this particular article, but it sure as hell would make a Story! This is one of the Biggest reasons I believe payouts stop. I could be totally off the mark with this one. If I am missing something please let me know. I am, after all only a week old. This is so crazy the community here and I think people are Generally good by nature. I read another article of a person who was asking for donations because He and His expecting Girlfriend are having a hard time making ends meet. Stating that any donations would be returned with a %25 interest attached to them. I wonder if that interest is attached to the Price of Steem when Donated or the Current price when repayment is made.
