RE: Suggest a recent post when viewer tries to upvote a post older than seven days
I like it. The only drawback I can see, is that it plays into the common mindset that early adopters have too big an advantage; that new players struggle to be noticed.
Detractors will say, 'Those with thousands of previous articles will find all of their new posts buoyed up the trending page, despite not deserving to be there'.
I don't believe this is the case; but that's what they'll say.
it is true that early adapters would have more posts to get attention but most of them are not aimed for long term, even I stopped writing full flagged tutorials once I found myself behind those with daily posts.
the main function of this feature is to motivate creating content that holds it's educational value for months and years, as a currency, the value of steem depends on the value of it's vaults content, and we want to fill it with long lasting gold instead of fast spoiling caviar.
I think we should honor early adapters and accept their superiority in the field as a fact, steem is an ecosystem, the new users should learn to thrive under their shadow instead of trying to cut them down.
plus: we are those early adapters, the beta testers, the majority of people still don't know about steem and steemit, we are laying this foundation brick by brick for them to build their success on.
Every word you just said is right.
Its hard to type this, I'm nodding so hard.
You put up an excellent argument; and I hope the idea gets past all the knee jerking.
thank you for your support, it means a lot to me ^_^
