I read a comment on Steemit where someone alluded to the fact that after you post you earn for 7 days and don't earn anything after. Is this true?  If this is true I find it to be very disapointing. First is a selfish reason obviously, I like earning money and like passive recurring income. On Yuutube I make a video and for eternity that video will make me money. My bigger concern for this however is I think it affects people's behavior, and how much people will invest in long form content and things like documentaries and stuff as well as how much origional or dedicated content they will create for this platform vs just reuploading their Youtube videos they've already made. A Youtube documentary maker can invest lots of time ie weeks and months and even money into creating a documentary because once made it's forever on Youtube and can earn passive income. Imagine if people who made movies could only earn money during box office weekend and never got a penny after that. There's a lot of great movies which may not have done well at the theatre but became cult classics afterwards. My point is this, I think a platform would ideally like people to make origional content for it as opposed to just reposting content they made for another platform. It's something I see going on with VidMe right now, because you can't really earn significant money nobody is willing to invest in detailed long form content so people just repost their Youtube content and it kind of takes away from the community because it's not a lot of origonal stuff, just reposted stuff. Another thing I see happening and see people mention is well you can repost content you've already done into some kind of mashup or compilation. Honestly if I follow someone regularly I've seen their work before, just because they combine 3 videos, it's still 3 videos I've already seen. I was just curious if A. this is true and B. if anyone else sees a problem with this model?
