Haha we have the freedom to rant here ;)

Next - Content only holds value for 1 week.

I agree on that the 1 week limit on receiving posts rewards does indeed incentivize people to write for the short term, the mentality is "what can I write for today."

However the value of a post can be ongoing, the information in the post can be consumed infinitely so long as the steem blockchain is live. We have started to associate value with money, and have disregarded the fact that when write a post for the long term and people like it, they can come back to your blog and upvote your other posts. Additionally, people can earn different ways on their blogging. Not only through upvotes, the conventional blogging.

Thanks for coming by btw ;)
