Automated comments on your own post | A way to receive valuable upvotes after payout
Components
I want to suggest this feature to SteemAuto by @mahdiyari, the leading automatization platform for Steem. It can be easily added as a new subitem in the sidebar that leads to the customization page of the feature.
Proposal
I've come up with an idea to get valuable upvotes even after the payout of your post is over!
It goes as follows: Below your post there is at least one comment of you that your audience can still vote on.
However, this comment would have to be rewritten every 7 days because the voting period on comments is limited, too. This is where automization comes in! How about a bot doing that job for you?
7 days after the post has been published, a comment is going to be posted below your selected post. From now on every 7 days this comment gets renewed.
Mockups / Examples
I created a detailed mockup to show how I imagine the implemented feature. Via link you can add the posts you want to automatically comment on. Underneath there is a text field where you can edit the text of your automated comment. I've chosen the following message as an example:
Benefits
As you may notice, I'm not happy with the way Steemit deals with posts in the long term. After 7 days the author rewards get paid out and since then every upvote the post receives is worthless. What I dislike most about this, is that Steemit hence rewards quantity over quality. Everything is transient, only gets a short attention span and eventually will be forgotten. But there are many high-quality posts that can't keep up in the 7-day race for attention. All those timeless jewels would benefit from my suggested feature because they can still get appreciation in form of valuable upvotes on their automated comment.

That can make many spam comments.
Imagine a post with 10,000 Comments!! (deleting comment is not possible after an upvote)
We should change how steemit.com displays comments.
I know, but 10,000 comments are exaggerated. One comment a week means (only) about 50 comments per year. And the service doesn't need to run for a lifetime.
Obviously it would be much better if comments could be deleted or if steemit changed the way how comments are displayed. But for this is not going to happen in the near future, we must think of anything else.
Ziemlich gute Idee! Ich finde auch, dass es eigentlich schade ist, dass gute Posts so schnell verloren gehen. Oftmals sind ja gerade die ersten Posts die ambitioniertesten, die jedoch aufgrund der geringen Reichweite i.d.R. kaum bemerkt werden.
Du könntest ja deine Idee ggf. im D-A-CH Meetup vorstellen?
Ich resteeme dich mal. :)
Vielen Dank, weiß ich zu schätzen! :)
Habe die Idee bereits im Discord-Chat vorgestellt und damit eine ausführliche Diskussion über die 7-tägige Upvote-Frist entfacht. Muss nicht sein, dass ich sie ein zweites Mal im Meetup vorstelle.
Thank you for the contribution. It has been approved.

Great idea, I really agree bro, just like the fact that I wanted to pay you 3 cents for this awesome idea but couldn't because the curation time has passed, so why don't you go ahead and reply so I can do just that... ;)
That's really nice of you! Thanks bro! :)
You bet my man! btw I upped your most recent post as well. The meaning of life...something I ponder, and wrote a similar blog about just a little while ago myself!
