I'm talking about content on the other platform that can be consumed multiple times, in fact has to be in order to earn. The content is high quality content as for the most part it is written by professional level writers.

The people who have tracked the earnings on their individual posts have found that beyond 10 days they only rarely receive even a few more cents. So the effective life of a post is 10 days for earning.

Evergreen content, even on Steem, will continue to be found even with the 7 day upvote limit. A savvy content producer will figure out how to monetize even when it can't be upvoted. Anyone running their own blog has to do so as they don't have the upvotes to pay them.

As much as I prefer to see good content producers able to continue to earn, the disadvantages of allowing abuse by leaving posts earning forever offsets any benefit.
