the biggest benefits people have from good articles or posts
are the ones that will specifically google or search these articles.
now when the voting is closed and no further payouts can happen
basically steemit takes all the benefits of the original poster and he has no additional benefits.
so unless you write crap & push it so it gets upvoted quickly there is no reason for people
who write articles that are really of high value to other people to write them here.
when i write something on my blog i can benefit from those hits forever into the future. not so on steemit.
one thing which would be highly valuable also is if you could see where the visitors on your posts are coming from .. like a stats page. cause if i see one article doing well i might add a link to promote a book related to that article for example etc.
