RE: Suggestions To Make Curation More Rewarding - Part 3 - Revive & Remonetize Old Posts (Under Specific Conditions)
I agree, it's not a bad idea. However, I think it may be frowned upon by the community? To be honest, I'm not sure. I have avoided doing so thus far.
I've never been downvoted, and I've been doing it about 3 months now (I also update the material as well, but sometimes there is nothing to update) - I make sure it's not ALL I post for sure ;>
but due to the nature of Steemit ( especially the way curation rewards are assigned) a post that doesnt get traction in the first hour is usually a goner.
And at some point, it does become spammy (especially if there is affiliate links...which I use in my sig, or if there has been little work done on the content)
I have asked about a community standard on this, and no one has reacted negatively...OTOH, no one really responded either LOL
When does it become spammy? For me, I'd say more than once a month, but then again I use a 3 month interval, and I don't repost everything I do
Back to your original question, I would say to put a comment to the Steemer, and ask for a resubmission
3 months sounds fairly reasonable. Ever gotten any complaints about it?
nope. no complaints, no downvotes.
Sometimes I get higher payouts than the first go-around, and sometimes no payput at all on a post that paid out the first go-around.
That feature of rewarding curation in the first hour does tend to kill the incentive to explore Steemit fully. IMO
And even so, it all depends on who is on, and actually reading posts at the time you post
Interesting. Thank you for replying with your results. Perhaps I will try it some day.
Unrewarded quality posts from new low reputation, low follower users is definitely an issue but any code change leaving the system open to be exploited or gamed in another way is probably just going to create more problems.
If the original poster still has low reputation and low visibility, is there any reason why it'll get more rewards the 2nd time around?
If they've built up reputation and following since the original post then I'd agree with stevescoins. Leave a comment, encourage a re-submission/revision and resteem that. It doesn't need a code change and I think it's totally legit way to achieve the same goal for someone who's produced good content while undiscovered (pick me, pick me! :p)
excellent point
