Well, television has different earning models, doesn't it? So for example a network buys 10 episodes of a show and says Go, and the actors and showrunners et al get paid for all 10 episodes. So maybe they sink one week and swim the next, it doesn't matter, they still get paid according to their 10-week contract.

I guess the issue with that model is that, well, the actors/showrunners might get fired after 10 weeks if the network doesn't feel like the show was worth the investment, whereas here on Steemit you can just keep plugging away forever.

I get why Steemit has the 7 day window in place to delay rewards payout, but I just can't help but wonder if there's opportunity to implement a system for rewarding creators outside that window, too.
