Components
I want to suggest this feature to SteemAuto by , the leading automatization platform for Steem. It can be easily added as a new subitem in the sidebar that leads to the customization page of the feature.
Proposal
I've come up with an idea to get valuable upvotes even after the payout of your post is over!
It goes as follows: Below your post there is at least one comment of you that your audience can still vote on.
However, this comment would have to be rewritten every 7 days because the voting period on comments is limited, too. This is where automization comes in! How about a bot doing that job for you?
7 days after the post has been published, a comment is going to be posted below your selected post. From now on every 7 days this comment gets renewed.
Mockups / Examples
I created a detailed mockup to show how I imagine the implemented feature. Via link you can add the posts you want to automatically comment on. Underneath there is a text field where you can edit the text of your automated comment. I've chosen the following message as an example:
Benefits
As you may notice, I'm not happy with the way Steemit deals with posts in the long term. After 7 days the author rewards get paid out and since then every upvote the post receives is worthless. What I dislike most about this, is that Steemit hence rewards quantity over quality. Everything is transient, only gets a short attention span and eventually will be forgotten. But there are many high-quality posts that can't keep up in the 7-day race for attention. All those timeless jewels would benefit from my suggested feature because they can still get appreciation in form of valuable upvotes on their automated comment.
