RE: Improve Tags - Improve User Ex - Let's Start A Bug Bounty! - 100 Steem Start
I am new so still tying to understand all this. I read comments and people are thinking that post go into the ether after 7 days. If I understand correctly the tag association disappears, something I did not know until reading this post. However, the post are still categorized and available based on the first tag used (the category tag).
I searched, "Incredible You"and many interesting articles appeared and the first one I clicked was one of yours from seven months ago. So if I am understanding properly, association with the other four, non category tags are gone in seven days.
Maybe I am reading these comments wrong as I am on the first cup of coffee. Also, the tag association seems to be issue worth addressing. -3D
The post stays around for ever on the blockchain and if you search the title on google it will pop up. However within the categories, posts only hang around for 7 days, you won't notice it in a big category like #photography, because there are hundreds of posts a day to that tag. However if you see a post on there today, it won't be there after 7 days.
Similarly, if you click on #incredibleyou you won't see anything, even though I've written dozens of articles to that category. If you click #cryptogee-musings, you'll see the table of contents, and that is all, however I've done a couple of dozen posts for that as well.
It just means that if you get to an old post and try and find other non-brand new ones, you can't, and that's a great shame I think.
Oh, and the category tag or association tag work just the same, which is why #incredibleyou is empty, if they were as you described (I wish they were), then you'd see all of my articles which have the #incredibleyou tag placed first.
