Thank you, I do support the 3.5 day policy and am generally against abusive upvote purchase. I am just wondering : what is the rationale to limit the payout period to only 7 days? After all, the post will then still stay on the steem blockchain forever. If an author writes a quality travel post and someone discovers it three years later via Google, it is still valuable. However, at that point, the author does not get any reward anymore. Doesn't this policy even encourage to post only content with a very short value lifespan? Why would I spend hours writing quality posts for steem of I only get a share of the value it creates in the first 7 days?
