this is more like the entirety of one question on my mind related to steemit:
When a post is newly made, is it only when it is new and gets its first storm of interaction that it gets some visibility? What happens a few days later? do these relevant posts still die forever or are they still served somewhere?
If a post is relevant, does it stay served around steemit forever? I really deep down want to understand the algorithm for how content is served!
I used to have a concept in the past of maintaining the visibility of content, re-viralizing viral content that died somehow, is that one aim of steemit too, or is it built around a model where if you don't have steem or steempower like it is called, your post is basically hidden?
Why do views have to die and sometime never wake up? does steemit help to abate this trend?
Where do our posts appear? How is it served?
Do hashtags really work?
Does tagging other users render posts reckless or unworthy?
Are there stats?
