It encourages daily posts and discourages long high effort posts, some authors may not wanna post daily and maybe come out with something once a week/month where it's longer than most posts on trending that day, why limit it to a certain threshold of how much they can earn for it, especially with no evergreen hive rewards. I don't think we should discourage such posts from time to time.
