Hey @teddy7 I've just seen a post by @jerrybanfield that says this:

The voting period is 7 days instead of 30 days because 99 percent of upvotes happen within the first 7 days. Upvotes still count on older posts but do not contribute to payout or use voting power.

Hope that helps!

Yes! Thank you so much, that you don´t forget me! Upvoted (sorry, not much power)

No problem! Glad to help. :-D

I know you no longer get a payout. Its the one big drawback I see for steemit. Someone mentioned youtubers could monetize here now that youtube is demonitizing many videos but if your post can only get a payout for 7 days that's not possible.

But I received my payout in my balance already!

I think that means that post can no longer monetize itself then.

OK! I need also to post my video again after 7 days to monetize again?

That's how it would work. Not great. Maybe a future hardfork takes care if it.

Thank you!
