My experience is that almost nobody looks at old posts, not even posts of a couple of days old. When eg listing them in a new post, I rarely see a vote coming in on a post of a couple of days old, even when others with a very interesting follow base ReSteem a post, I rarely see any new votes coming in. So, I think it is a cultural thing not to look at the history; A cultural think to look for posts when they are really really fresh. One way of changing this is indeed value a vote for an older post (much) higher to give some incentive. I di agree, it would be fantastic when posts can always be voted for and receive rewards, even if it is a year old! More and more Steemians starting to copy old posts, to give it renewed attention, but in the end that is polluting the blockchain, but yeh, when some interesting info was published in the past and nobody looks for it anymore, than the value of that information got to zero, so why not re-posting it.

You are so right.  I really wish that it would change.  Posts get buried very, very fast.  Incentives for curators to find quality posts that got buried would be better for the overall feel of the platform, imo

Better search will help; Maybe better flagging of copy/paste posts also helps; Customisable channels for every user will also help (usr, tag, post time, text in title and body). But the whole system is created to focus only on 30-60 minute old posts and with the recent influx of Steemians, followers do not have a value anymore.

>I think it is a cultural thing not to look at the history; A cultural think to look for posts when they are really really fresh. 

It's funny, I was just having this discussion with @bleepcoin and he basically said what you're saying.

My answer to him was that the culture on Steemit is directed by the incentives given. So if we started an Easter egg scheme to incentivise the curation of old posts, then the culture would change.

There are many short stories and funny posts on Steemit that are quite timeless, I envisage these are the sort of posts that will really benefit from a scheme like this.

>Steemians starting to copy old posts, to give it renewed attention, but in the end that is polluting the blockchain

This is a good point, and the fact is having lots of duplicate content on the site devalues it in the eyes of Google, which will bring down Steemit's rankings. This is why there is such a focus on new and original content. So that is an unforeseen benefit of a scheme like this.

Thanks for your comments :-)

I agree, incentives drives culture, especially here at Steemit; By changing incentives, culture can be changed. Great observation!
