Hey @retiredinsamar you make a great point. While it would be great to be able to continue to make money indefinitely off a post, especially a post you put a lot of time and effort into, I can see why things are not that way and in some ways I think it's actually a good thing as it forces creators and Steemians to stay active on the platform and not just do a content dump from Youtube or a blog and move on. Also you make a great point about comments, I'll give you a nice upvote to further prove your point ;)
