The fact that Steemit posts payout after seven days with no more post earnings are disheartening to many folks. BUT what many do not realize is that ANY post that continues to generate NEW conversation provides an opportunity to earn. In other words, if you comment on a post that is 7 months old (aka this one!), you can earn on that comment as comments are considered authored articles and are new items in the blockchain. I will Upvote this comment to prove my point. Upvoting a comment not only generates new income payable in the 7 day time-frame, but it also positions the new comment up in the hierarchy of all comments (depending on Upvote value).

Hey @retiredinsamar you make a great point. While it would be great to be able to continue to make money indefinitely off a post, especially a post you put a lot of time and effort into, I can see why things are not that way and in some ways I think it's actually a good thing as it forces creators and Steemians to stay active on the platform and not just do a content dump from Youtube or a blog and move on. Also you make a great point about comments, I'll give you a nice upvote to further prove your point ;)

And that I did! There is no reason for a conversation to die just because that post's earning period is over! And good conversation keeps good information flowing on Steemit, regardless of when it was posted!

Thanks for adding these details into this post.
I just found this via doing a google search, and was reading down this thread to this point. I am not certain if my vote will count for anything much, but I did upvote your comment retiredinasamar, just to keep the conversation active for others who are new to this site to still be able to learn from the conversation on this topic all the same. I am new here so this information did help me out.

Thanks and I upvoted you also... although my VP is greatly diminished today. Need to go to sleep for 24 hours and replenish!

Cats should not be fed tuna exclusively, as it lacks taurine, an essential nutrient required for good feline health. Make sure you have the proper Pet supplies to keep your cat happy and healthy.
