really love your suggestion man!! soo good!! well done on beig so consistent here again!! love seeing your posts!

I think bug bounty is a really good idea. It can make a huge improvement to this platform. But the way how to hunt the bugs should be clear enough to understand so that makes many users can take part including minnows like me.

Awesome idea👍
I’m in!

Interesting read. I had no idea our blogs disappeared into the ether. I hadn't noticed, probably because there have always been plenty of posts on the tags I have searched. I searched on incredibleyou and was only able to find one outside your contents list.

I have been doing a series of "quotes to live by" with the tag #quotestoliveby and had assumed that they would always be searchable by that tag. Now I will need to rethink this.

I would also like some sort of Categories Archive. And I would like something like the situation of Pinterest boards (assuming nothing has changed there) where people can sign up to see stuff in their feed only related to one category.

I like to write about lots of different stuff and, on FB, had to have separate accounts. I'd really love to have just the one account but for people to be able to choose which parts of it they see.

I also like you idea of a Bounty Fund and for Steemians to be able to vote on the ones we feel are the most important to implement/sort out.

hmmm...i am brand new here and learning that posts have only a 7 day life expectancy took a tiny bit of steem out of my enthusiasm...I hope this gets improved upon as the platform grows.

Hmmm, I'm still new in the scheme of things but it never occurred to me that things disappear after 7 days, I did wonder why some tags that have great contests associated with them have only the last weeks posts, as though the contest didn't exist prior to then but it's #24 contest... As I said explains a lot. 

Also thanks for the links to your [Incredible You!](https://steemit.com/incredibleyou/@cryptogee/incredible-you-table-of-contents) series, I have bookmarked it and will work my way through them, I am starting with [The The Amazing Power Of Boredom](https://steemit.com/incredibleyou/@cryptogee/test).

I have been sad with these post disappearence after 7 days!!.
As you explained a new person can think we only have a few posts on every topic on Steemit.
I wish they would implement an archive as ypu say.I was recently looking for some post on a contest,but had to do thorough google searching and had to remember(guess) the names of the author.....its really tiresome.

1 month in and I have just realized how troublesome the 7-day window is. Hopefully,  this could be a priority issue because of its significance to content creators. Moreover, I feel like this would be an uncomplicated fix. The Steemit blockchain is immutable after all so the older post with tags can be easily retrieved with a tweak in the query.

The `Bug Bounty`is another excellent idea @cryptogee. Thank you for always thinking of ways to improve the platform and finding ways to make it happen. Cheers.

Nice suggesation to adopt catogries archives as it is sad that your post disappears after 7 days. It will increase repetation of post due to navailability of previous post. Table of content is another alternative option but it involves a lof of effort.

It would also be nice to have categories... so that the tags list them as such.  I like to add different topics like crypto's, health, etc.  But health folks sometimes get put off from a blog when they see crypto articles... so if we can have 4 or 5 categories they would slide to that would be cool, all enabled by the tags.

I wasn't even aware of the fact that posts disappear from tags after seven days, but yes, I understand that it's a significant problem for users who post under specialized tags, such as your #incredibleyou.

I love your bug bounty idea, but since I'm a month old Steemian I wouldn't be able to contribute much for now.

As per other improvements that we need, I've recently shared an [idea about user interaction tracker](https://steemit.com/community/@lifenbeauty/new-steemit-useful-website-proposal-user-interaction-tracker).

Cheers! : )

Thanks for sharing this @cryptogee. I completely agree that content should stay seen for more than 7 days - I imagine that this problem will be eventually fixed by the devs, but like you said, it is not a priority on their list.

I would see this as one of the most important fixes for the platform, as many people post a lot of helpful and interesting content that should not be forgotten after only one week! 
I really like the idea of a Bug Bounty, and I think that many developers would be interested in this if they knew that they would get x amount of Steem as compensation for their work. I would be more than happy to contribute what I can to such a fund, and of course would support it with an upvote and resteem too. I would also be very interested in helping to develop this fund - because I work full time in cryptocurrencies and I believe in the future of the blockchain and this platform, I really would like to help out with this in order to develop  it further!

Hi @cryptogee!  I've had some bandwidth issues, so I've been laying low, but I just saw this post and think it is an awesome idea.  You are absolutely correct...there has to be a way to preserve all of this awesome content after the 7-day payout period; an archive of some sort.  I wish I was in a position to contribute to the "bug bounty/improvement fund" because it is certainly worthwhile.  Hopefully those who can, will :)

I think your absolutly right. And its nice to some taking the efford to also come with some kinda solution. I also hope this issue will be solved quickly. Will upvote this post. Keep up the good work.

I had no idea that tags expired after 7 days and I had a moment of baffled rage and how dare this be true, how ridiculous, who does this serve....
Definitely should be a priority for devs. we need to mention this to our witnesses we vote for.

Nice suggestion. Only last week I found out that after a certain time my post vanishes completely from all the categories when I noticed that my photomash challenge post was nowhere to be seen. Previosly I thought that it would appear in the NEW category in a chronological order.A bug bounty program would possibly encourage someone to improve post categorisation on steemit.

Personally , I have some suggestions like,
1) adding tags as favorites.
2) pinned post in blog.(so that you don't have to post a T&C post every now and then, especially with bots).
3)An advanced search etc.
4)More content filtration option feeding people with interested contents 

I hope all this will be available once steemit goes full fledged mode. I hope this post gets noticed by the steemit development team.

dear @cryptogee your good post...i like your post.. thank for sharing....

The 7 day window is somewhat painful, especially for us users used to legacy earnings on YouTube videos for ***years***! 

I hate to say it but seems like Steem Inc is quick to sell the site short and concentrate on the currency. Yet look at the market cap of Facebook. Over half a ***TRILLION*** dollars!

Thank you very much for sharing this post. Because you shared this post. This post has written a nice way of writing everything. There has been a lot of benefits in understanding this. Thank you again and for giving this news.

Well, that explains a lot. That's not good for the future of the platform letting all that content to be unsearchable by Tags.

 Creating posts to link to other posts. How long before you just see endless index posts ?  If anything that show the level of weakness in the structure of tags 

Fingers crossed they have a plan!

A small ease of life addition would be the ability to organize all of your old posts into various "shelves" and category's on your profile.
There are a couple poems of mine that I am legitimately proud of and would want to put in a "Worthy"/"Not shit" shelf, or some-such thing. 
But as they are, they shall be eventually be deeply buried unless some dedicated reader decides to go on an endless scroll journey. 
Something I imagine is far worse for those who've been active for a long period of time, as well as those who curate and resteem a lot of content.

Another one would be the option to search for posts on steemit to the tune of "Last 14 days", "Last 30 days" "last 6 months" ect...


Another great idea would be the ability to filter out peoples posts on your feed, or to be able to create your own feed with specific people you follow instead of that all in one feed that gradually becomes useless beyond a certain point.
The ability to remove "resteemed" posts from appearing in your feed.

100% behind this initiative! I may not have the SBD to support it, but I'll be voting/upvoting for the small bit I'm worth!

I think a categories archive is a good idea

I am new so still tying to understand all this. I read comments and people are thinking that post go into the  ether after 7 days. If I understand correctly the tag association disappears, something I did not know until reading this post. However, the post are still categorized and available based on the first tag used (the category tag). 

I searched, "Incredible You"and many interesting articles appeared and the first one I clicked was one of yours from seven months ago.  So if I am understanding properly, association with the other four, non category tags are gone in seven days. 

Maybe I am reading these comments wrong as I am on the first cup of coffee. Also, the tag association seems to be issue worth addressing. -3D
