There are a couple of ways you can reward high quality content that is outside the reward window that don't require changing the code:
- Leave a tip
- leave a comment and if the author replies, upvote their reply.
I think these are great ways to incentivize the value-for-value philosophy.
I love the upvoting the reply, I feel like it is a far better way to reward engagement on the chain. :)
You can also create a comment and set the beneficiary appropriately.
