RE: Reminder, GrumpyCompliance in 7 days + Look who's buying votes on his 6 days old posts.
Because its a possibility that within the given 7 days period, some might still be able to find it and vote for it. It's for extended exposure of the content.
@juvyjabian i would focus on the benefits and problems on having rewards for good quality posts even after 7 days maybe with no time limit. One reason fo it ? Because at the end of the day my article on how to do x will be found on google even after years and be useful. I would suggest we discuss it on a new page if you guys want to
Thank you @digitalplayer you are of course absolutely right. Sorry to pull the discussion in another direction here. I opened a separate threat where we can discuss this issue: https://steemit.com/steem/@raci/does-the-7-day-payout-period-on-steem-still-make-sense
@digitalplayer this is a very good point. The value of good content doesn't decline with the age of a post. I never understood why the steemit founders set a time limit on rewards for posts. As for the voting bots, I thinkthey were inevitable. If you have whales and even witnesses with high SP upvoting their own posts and those of other whales and taking the majority of the reward pool, it's natural that regular people would develop bots with votes for sale to try and get a little of the rewards pool. The question is: with all of the whale voting, self-votes and paid votes, how will we know if content is any good based on vote count alone? We won't.
@ammonite You won twice in one comment with that one! Shucks I might just follow you for that comment!
Thank you @maneki-neko
