RE: Steem Version 0.12.0 Released
The 30 day payout limit seriously disincentivizes steemit as a source of curated knowledge. My guess is that it relieves the servers or minimizes blockchain transactions but I think modifying the last payout date warrants discussion.
The problem we face is that individual votes trickling in slowly over time do not yield any payout if payouts are made periodically.
We have other plans for improving wikipedia style content.
Indeed, I hope to see a solution for the issue that you can't really keep receiving 'royalties' on your own content, for as long as people deem it worthy and relevant.
Certainly agree with this comment
I sure hope so, nearly all of my content is designed to be utilized and adored for years. Heck, most of it won't even be appreciated by growers for months after reading it, sometimes years. The reaction they have is priceless though, was planning on cleaning up on rewards here within a year or so.
I'm hoping to see something quick, otherwise I'm going to have to repost stuff all the time. Bleah!
Thanks for working on it.
OH BY THE WAY!
WTH is wrong with this post?
I have about 6 of them with slightly different content, none of them will let me edit or reply.
TY
My content is the exact same way. Years of progression of my work, and the stories of my mentors. I really hope that "We have other plans for improving wikipedia style content." comes to fruition as some of the artists that I feature certainly deserve a place on the pedestal.
Thanks.
@steemitblog If there is a tax on making more than 5 posts then where does the tax money go to?
there is x amount of money that is given out every period. votes determine who gets how many. So you are just getting less of the pie.
does this make sense?
Edits don't count as posts.
I heard from someone that edits are counted as posts. Any truth to this? Do I get penalized if I post something and then edit it 4+ times afterwards?
I agree here. Some of the best content I have written (on other sites), and indeed the content which has received the most views (by orders of magnitude) did not hit it's stride until months after it was posted (2-5m to be precise) as it took a while to matriculate through it's target audience as it got picked up by increasingly more influential hubs. This content was much longer then perhaps STEEMIT is aiming for, but it would be a shame to alienate long form from the platform.
yes, it is more like one is selling the rights to your produced content for whatever it can earn in X amount of time and then that's the end. For me, hanging photography out that may be swiped in the future is rather uncool if I have no chance at future royalties.
I agree with that, royalties is what bring us into steem.
