Is Steemit a good professional blogging platform?
Because of the limitation imposed by the seven-day payout window, Steemit (http://steemit.com) and the rest of the blogging interfaces of the Steem blockchain are best used for non-evergreen content. One of the advantages of using a Steem front end for blogging is the near-immediate payout. You get paid a week from publishing your post and that will be it. Old posts are unlikely to garner much attention anyway. They are not too difficult to search using SteemPeak (http://steempeak.com) or Steemworld but clearly the whole experience is structured in such a way as to favour new content.
But it wouldn’t be too difficult to work around the seven-day payout window limitation by building a Steem front end that automatically added a comment to a post every week and directed all votes given to the post to the active comment instead. Such a front end could serve those bloggers and the their audiences that preferred evergreen content. The front end wouldn’t even show these placeholder comments. Such a front end should also come with much better content discovery tools to make it easier to find old posts.

Dear @markkujantunen
What "non-evergreen content" means? I've never heard that expression before.
Indeed. We're living in society where anything older than few days is just ... way to old to pay attention.
It may be possible to build front-end as you described, however it's already to late to change Steemit users mindset.

Evergreen content is content that keeps generating income perpetually.
If Steem pans out, a tiny fraction of future Steem users are even aware that the platform exists at this time. There is no Steem users’ mentality set in stone.
