The rewards are linear for the first 24 hours, now.
Only if you vote after 24 hours do you lose money.
The curation rewards you would have gotten in the first 24 hours goes to those that did vote the post in the first 24 hours.
Voting on day 7 has a very definite penalty.

I hope the first 24 hours will be changed to at least 3 days in the next hardforks. Also, I wonder whether it could have been lifetime rewards than 7 days because DTube or 3Speaks seem not sensible to me with only 7 days rewards. I think a video could generate lifetime rewards.
Lifetime rewards wasn't possible in the beginning because of chain bloat, at some point they should become possible.
IF you want to reward the author of old content just vote a recent comment.
Otherwise, the chain holds that value to itself.
