I think all folks here need to look at Steem like how the first Youtubers looked at Youtube when it first started out. They just had fun with it even if some of them knew there were some potential behind the platform, but they just focused on their content and sharing with their audience rather than focus heavily on monetary gains. Of course, even them had a lot of folks just drop from the platform when they wondered why they weren't making any money or getting a lot of subscribers. But eventually some of those earliest adopters who stayed on the platform and who focused on their content became some of the biggest Youtubers on the platform, so much so they might as well be seen as the pillars of Youtube creators. One of those Youtubers is still today among the biggest of them and has made a huge living out of it over the years. You might know him by name of PewDiePie.
