100% agree with this.. there are soo many missed opportunities on steem. i.e. long term pay out for blogs past the 7 day.. i understand why there is a expiration at 7 days for the 50/50.. but what about side bar of advertising customization etc. based on Views and click through.. like facebook/google. with a separate token. it may be able to curtail the wholesale selling of upvotes.. give people who want to get exposure for there articles from people that are reading older articles. @i-am-mark has some good ideas.. i have been pressing him into articulating these.
