Yes! The 7-daybw window is what holds some creators back, I think. And what's frustrating as. A use is finding an old how-to video that I want to upvote, but the time period has passed. I believe if that time period could be extended, the level of quality would go up exponentially.
I agree, I often find content, almost every single day, that I want to upvote and it's past payout period. One of the most frustrating things when you curate I believe.
