RE: My least favourite Steemit feature
Well, this has a lot to do with computer sorting, block-chain size, and block-chain replaying.
If you want to get a post, and all of its comments, then you only have to search a 30 day block of time.
And Piston.web is a toolkit that allows manipulation of the blockchain.
You could easily write a comment thing into any webpage with it.
I find that comments 24 hours after posting are really useless. They fall on deaf ears. Not many people go back and search old stuff.
Thanks for taking the time to try to explain!
The whole post is locked after 30 days. You can't edit any part of it.
In dealing with bulletin boards in the past, some person would get upset, and delete everything of theirs. This would stop that.
But, I think it has more to do with the old part of the block chain becoming solid and non-changing and thus making it all easier to work with. Especially when a new server comes online and has to verify the entire block chain.
