For all users who have been present on Steemit, they must be aware about the 7-day limitation of receiving upvotes and earning from it. Unfortunately, once this week's time is gone, the post loses its value all-of-a-sudden and no more eyeballs to get visibility. No matter how effective and great you might have written, after this 7-day cycle, people will lose interest in the post for sure. But not anymore, meet [Steem Forever](https://steem-bounty.com/services/forever).

**A Brief Overview**
Steem Forever has been built with a single thought in mind- keep earning forever from the post, without any limitations. Steem Forever is a simple web-based service by the creators of [Steem Bounty](https://steem-bounty.com), which provides users with a simple and easy to use interface to create a perma-link to a steemit post and vote on it forever.

**Steem Forever, Under the Hood**
How Steem Forever achieves this is pretty straightforward. When a person creates a steem-bounty URL out of a normal steemit or busy URL, the Steem Bounty platform intelligently checks the age of post and in case it exceeds the 7-day lifespan, it creates a comment on the same post. Hence, any new upvotes done on this new Steem Bounty URL actually go as UpVotes to the comment, hence opening another 7-day post channel. And this doesn't end here. Everytime it sees a comment has surpassed the week's time, it creates another comment and performs the upvote.

Finally, at the end of 7-day lifecycle of such comments, the money is rendered out to original author of the post, with a minor cut going to steem-bounty for facilitating this service.
