RE: Building a case for “Steem Power Perpetual” SPP Token
Seven days is a reasonable amount of time to reach an audience. Some content is timeless and amazing but granting more Steem to new creators is what keeps this platform going. If more rewards were going to those who created content weeks ago there would be less incentives to make new posts- especially if there are high quality old posts. Also curators should be rewarded more if we extend the time but not necessarily the ones who curated first. Your proposal changes the entire Steem economy.
The author can simply repost anything if they want the payout to continue beyond 7 days. This current system also promotes serials and series, I don't want to see more rewards going to someone who posted a funny meme 3 weeks ago.
I agree that granting rewards to new creators is what has kept the platform going. I am not saying that we should grant a major portion of the rewards for the evergreen content. All I am saying is that there should be a way to reward evergreen content. There can be multiple solutions to this. We can create a new token who value will be evaluated by the community over the time. I think that was also there is the minds of those designed the platform initially because the votes are getting registered in the blockchain. it is just that they are not monetised.
While I agree that reposting is a solution I wouldn't be comfortable doing that myself. Also it need not necessarily be posts. See for example your comment contributed to the post but I am not able to up-vote your comment as the threshold of 7 days has crossed.
We dont necessarily need to make changes at the blockchain to begin with. We can try other approaches and then push it into core if makes sense.
You could read other content of mine and upvote that. Or you could simply respond to comments of yours within 7 days, if you don't have time upvote them or another post of the Author's. Responding to a post after 15 days and saying you cannot upvote it, is part of the problem, not the solution. I don't mean to be rude, but it is rare that someone replies after a 7 days. The 7 day limit is reasonable.
