I've narrowed the debate down to A / B.
- Should established Steemit bloggers have a way to make a sustainable income from blogging or not?
If you think not then you're being consistent. If you look at Youtube then you will see when Youtube demonetized the Patreon model became more popular among established Youtubers.
No one in the debate is against new bloggers being rewarded or even becoming established bloggers. But what is a successful blogger?
