Very helpful! But I'm a historian and have a question: Once the 7-day payout window is over, then what? Does it make sense to upvote "historical" content?

Great question @kenfinkel. After the 7-day payout, voting on their content will no longer give them rewards.
So after 7-days no one (neither author or voter) can get any reward from upvoting?
That's correct! It's purely ceremonial at that point... like facebook or instagram... suddenly that feels kind of old fashioned doesn't it?
Definitely! On the 8th day it's all downright archival. Now there's motivation for shorter, more frequent posts. And recycling in summary clusters of good content. And probably other tactics I'm not yet able to wrap my head around yet. What about rewards for replies? Did you talk about that?
Good questions. I tried posting a lot but then you just spam your followers so I guess about max four quality posts per day is good. 😀 😃 😄 😁 Have a wonderful day!
Yes! Comments (replies) and blog posts act the same way!
Doesn't the 8th day (and beyond) devaluation of posts and the interaction around those posts demotivate the collective creation of content with lasting value? Imagine a Wikipedia-like project at Steemit. It couldn't work, could it?
