RE: Timeless Content versus Timely Content - Or How Steemit Can Lock Itself Out Of Business In One Easy Step
Thanks for the support. I host all the images on one of my servers, but I understand that this may not be the case for everybody and I confess I didn't even think at this, until you brought it up and yes, it's a valid concern. There are people who rely entirely on images for their presence here on Steem it (art, photography, quilling, etc) and they can be easily "erased" by not being able to edit their image links.
You're welcome. In fact, I consider this point to be so important that I've gone ahead and resteemed your post. Here's hoping The Powers That Be see this and take it under consideration.
That's two very good points. I did not think of the image hosting aspect. That scenario would not be fun. And as for the 30 day payout. Yup, it also buts a drag on the sharing of content.
Ex. I had a follower re-steem one of my 30+ day old posts and it picked up a chunk of fresh upvotes, but since it doesn't pay anything he said he would only resteem less than 30 day content going forward. That's less sharing of my content now.
That happened to me! Imgur lost my pics right after they disabled edit and delete. Now my event calendar is out of date and I cannot add to it, my blog landing page has broken links, and my product-reviews have broken images. I can't fix or delete any of them.
It's sad to watch such a good idea get ruined in less than 3 months.
