@bobydimitrov I agree with the problem of the 7 days. Its a big obstacle and makes one want to split a quality content into may small pieces, so that one can keep up with the pressure of daily prsesence. How does the community feel about reposting a long, in depth, old post, that, lets say is already 3, or 6 month old, or even a whole year? Would this be a solution to make the rewards for a post last longer?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Reposting would get you votes from Cheetah, and then the steamcleaners would eventually come and flag your duplicate posts...thick politics ;) Reposting highly frowned upon.
I do agree however, that the 7 day window for upvotes could be longer. Not sure how they would make that happen, but if say all posts on one's page had a payout every 7 days. I know there are many very good posts that I find around day 20, or months, even a year later that I would love to upvote.
Hi @elew. I recntly got informed about and into Cheetah and also steamcleaners, well it was actually the other way around. It was when I encountered my first heavy abuse of steemit, where a user was ONLY posting compy / pasted stuff from all over the internet. Good to have these guards working in the community!
Yet as @bobydimitrov said I hope the community will find out a way of not locking down older than 7 days content for ever. It just is not right, A good article has value for a very very long time. And this should be mirrored her in our community as well.
hehe, and then there is @gentlebot, who just roams around Steemit looking for good comments, and upvotes them. No schemes, no payments, just a little appreciation. Gentlebot is like the best bot on steemit :)
I see that it is also a generous bot.
I think just reposting the same thing is not the best solution.
I also feel you about splitting up content to maintain a daily presence. I dont think that is a bad strategy at all. ANd for continuity sake, just link back to the previous parts of your post.
I don't have the time to split posts, link them together, etc, just to chase the extra payout. I have plenty on my hands already, even not counting the day job and the kids! But I've noted a general trend for shorter posts, a photo with few paragraphs... So that sucks for me, as I'm a fan of longer format. Maybe I should make another account where I would just share photos with bits of text - not much use in that except the visual impression.
Reposting sounds like a good solution, however that would split comments. Maybe in a future version of Steem we'll be able to repost the original content on demand, for example pay a fee and mark the post as a new one, keeping all the comments.
I have no idea how the community would react to that, maybe we should ask the others in the chat?
Hey @bobydimitrov. I understand the comment splitting would be sad. I hope steemit will implement a long time solution for content just like you sketch it. Otherwise I will not get old on this platform, as I really would like to dive deep into the long format as well and this speedy (and daily) publishing are not what I am after.
And to be clear and honest: Steemit IS about earning money for me. It sabout earning money with helping others and the spreading knowlege in a community that values these efforts and sharings. If I would not be here for the money, I would certainly not put up with all that spam, flagging plagiarism and fighting for this site to become a content page, rather than a fast click stock market.
