🇬🇧 How Does Appreciator Work? – A System for Supporting Valuable Posts on Blurt

Have you ever wondered why you received a comment from Appreciator? This post will help you understand how it works.

What is Appreciator?

Appreciator is an automated system that searches for and rewards posts older than 7 days that have received a vote after their initial payout period.
On Blurt, valuable content can sometimes get lost in the flood of new posts. While the 7-day earnings window is enough for low-engagement or time-sensitive posts, it can be unfair to authors of in-depth articles and long-form content that remain relevant for years.
Appreciator is the solution to this problem! It monitors the blockchain and detects late votes.

How does Appreciator work?

1️⃣ The app records the late vote.
2️⃣ It creates a ranking of posts with the highest number of late votes.
3️⃣ It leaves a comment under each ranked post, assigning beneficiaries to the comment, including the original author and other contributors to the post. Then, it attempts to upvote the comment.
4️⃣ If Appreciator’s Voting Power is too low to upvote, it waits until its VP regenerates before voting. This may take a day or several days, but never more than 6 days.
5️⃣ Appreciator Reblurts the post it comments on, bringing it back to the spotlight so more users can see and appreciate it. This means that once your post enters the ranking, it can stay visible longer because new users will keep discovering and voting for it! 🎉
6️⃣ After 7 days, the reward from the comment is distributed among its beneficiaries.
7️⃣ After another 7.5 days, Appreciator cleans up its comment, leaving only the number of votes received during that week.

📢 How Can You Get Involved?

🔹 Vote for valuable posts regardless of when they were published! Help other creators get recognized.
🔹 Create high-quality content! – Your post can now be rewarded multiple times, even long after publication. This means that by creating timeless, valuable content and promoting it, you have a higher chance of earning passive income from your posts for years! Appreciator will continue supporting it as long as users keep voting. 😃
🔹 Reblurt valuable posts regardless of their publication date! By Reblurting older but valuable posts, you expose them to your audience, increasing their chances of receiving more appreciation and support!
