unfortunately this is because of the 7-day payout-system on the steem-blockchain. Only the upvotes from people seeing this post in the first 7 days after publishing actually contribute to the valued amount of $34.16.
People like me who see this great post after that 7-day period can still upvote it but won't actually pay the author with our upvotes.
