I think what you are missing here is the potential revenue from sponsors too. You can add these into the video itself with a far better return for your pocket. What does an advertiser want? Views. Lets take for an example. I walk into a major brand. I say thay I can get you 300 quality views on steemit as opposed to 30000 views on youtube. What would they pick? I know what sounds more appealing.
Also by adding in your own advertisment by the way of an episode sponsor can get you some hard and fast cash if your a constant uploader!
