When do new accounts get rewarded? 7-Day limt (Author and Curation Rewards) Pros & Cons
No Curation and Author reward? You probably have a new Account and ask yourself why balance still shows 0.00 on rewards and in the wallet. Watch that 2 Minute Video, which will probably sort out your Questions.
If you are new to Steemit you probably asked yourself. Why is it i am already earning , but my rewards (curation and author) and my wallet still show a balance of zero.
This is not a newbie's bubble or some sort of bot and spam protection, though it can function as that.
Your actions, commenting, upvoting or posting content have a 7 day active lifetime, in which you can receive or reward others. It means you have a total of 7 days to promote your content, then you will get your reward and won't earn another penny on it, unless somebody is donating to you.
It has two main effects which i would like to point out:
A pro is that old content is basically been put off the market. Thats a benefit for all new content creators, because you no longer compete with and probably good content, means the chance that youre content is seen and rewarded is a lot higher.
A con is that Steemians are not motivated to post deep, good and high quality content. Like an evergreen which is not getting out of fashion. If i want my content to be seen and get rewarded for 1 year i will put more effort in , as if it is just seen the next week.
Thanks for tuning in, thanks for upvoting and thanks fro being part. Hope your day is marvellous!
