This is certainly a great step forward for decentralized videos. But it is just an intermediate solution to collect adequate long term earnings with a high quality video. As you said in the interview it is fantastic to create a revenue stream right away and this post here proves that.

But from a content creators perspective some videos deserve more than just seven days of potential upvotes. Does anybody here know if you can create an alternative payout plan with a 3rd party Steem app? I am not sure if a longterm solution is even possible with Steem.

Or if a system like LBRY isn't the better solution because they use their own currency optimized for exactly that: longterm earnings with videos.
