RE: Suggestions To Make Curation More Rewarding - Part 3 - Revive & Remonetize Old Posts (Under Specific Conditions)
Hmmmm; I am going to resteem your post as soon as my comment clears. Wow! I am still a "Minnow," and it took me a bit to figure out to build relationships before I made too many posts. Even though I cannot "benefit" from reading old posts, the value is in the information of the great ones.
It is a bit strange that I have gained far more fame as a poet and short-story writer than being an applied psychology pioneer and biodynamic farmer. At least, I didn't have to stoop to endless cat pictures to gain attention. (BTW, I do like cats; however it's a very sad story of when I moved years ago and my cat, Simba, panicked from the truck ride and dashed off while I was putting stuff in storage. After moths of going back to the farm to see if he went back, I finally gave up. I find it tough to have another cat. There is ONLY one Simba.)
Here I am blathering away. You have such a wonderful idea @lexiconical and I'll be checking up on you to see if there is anything that I can do to support your MISSION. Be well.

I know how you feel. However, if we think about it a bit, and consider which one of these lends itself better to social media (quick, low-attention span content delivery) our answer becomes more readily apparent.
There are some great posts on Steemit for our long-form readers, but generally speaking, I think 4 paragraphs or less is the optimal length from a game theory perspective of "max reward per time invested."
Thank you very much for the kind words.
I, too, am very attached to a cat I used to have. He was known as The Shredder, both as an homage to the ninja turtles villain, and as a representation of what he liked to do to cardboard objects.
