RE: The State of the @NoNamesLeftToUse Address: I've Produced Over 200 New Works Of Art This Year — Probably Published Over One Million Words
I got used to the 7 day window when I compared this model to television. Those folks have one episode per week. Sink or swim. Not many more chances to earn from that episode until physical or digital copies are sold, or reruns. I would prefer a longer window but at the same time, I'm not sure many look at the old stuff aside from outside eyes that can't interact unless they sign up.
And yes, I've been yelling at the clouds for about a year and it sucks I was right and things only got worse.
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.
