Cheers! I couldn't have said it better myself. This way, we can have more variety, since we have a lot of great short-form content already like photos, videos, and brief updates of blogposts. We've yet to have a lot of quality long-form content like in-depth reviews, opinions and such else.
Following Medium's footsteps, if we could allow all types of content creators, regardless of what they create or contribute to earn for longer, that's one step closer to putting HIVE on the mainstream :-)
Yepp, short content get instant rewards, long content gets long term rewards.
