Yes but I think it goes deeper than that. The "stick and carrot" of Steem can leave a bitter taste in a person's mouth. Many of us are very dedicated to seeing Steemit evolve and I have high hopes that it will. Until there is a more eloquent approach to balancing quality and quantity bloggers should take a manual approach by updating and reposting their old material. I would go even further and say if you don't plan on doing this you should allow others to repost your old material without a restriction on earnings (if permission is given then credit the author). A lot of the info out there is essentially didactic and the Steem community needs to be able to access without going through the proverbial "Easter egg hunt". Think of it like Wikipedia with a payment system. I promise you the original content creators would ultimately benefit. So 1st one should repost their own stuff and if they don't they should encourage others to do it for them. Another thought is that Steem could benefit from a royalty system (if technically possible). i.e. Curators could truly organize info if they could repost older content without concern for copyright infringement. Win for author, win for curator, win for community!
