Yeah, the seven-day window seems like a turnoff for "heavy-hitting content creators," especially those on YouTube, Tiktok, etc. I can't imagine them every seeing the value in limiting their payout/revenue. And, what's the option for for short stories that I write? I like to think that they have value beyond seven days, at least the ones I put some time into. I've thought about recycling them, and I guess that would be okay.

You know I was thinking the same thing about writing that I've been doing lately. I'm writing a novella and giving it a decent go... and I'm thinking... if I publish it on Hive, then I've got 7 days and that's it. How could I benefit after that? It's somewhat disheartening that I'll only publish low effort content here because of that limitation.
I suppose we could sell NFT copies of the work, but that's still different to Hive.
Maybe it's better publish via traditional means or the many self publishing routes that have popped up in recent years.
And, many publishers want first-time rights, so anything published on blockchain first is ineligible. ... I've never thought of a story as an NFT, but why not? Have you seen anyone doing that?
No I've not seen anyone give that a go. I figure it makes sense. Text files aren't large even for full manuscripts. I suppose you could create them in multiple file formats too. It's something I've been pondering for a while but i don't know enough about the limitations of NFTs to be sure.
Yeah the first time rights issue I've seen be a problem for other people. I always figured I'd go the self publish route and try to market my work myself.
It's a real shame that hive won't be the place I publish though, I still love this place.
Though if peakd placed adds on my work and paid me advertiser revenue... That might change.
