Those are just people looking for excuses. In fack, most popular accounts don't even have any background on youtube.
It's not easy to be very successful here on steemit - but it's the same everywhere else. Not everyone has the character, brains or creativity to do it. That's just life.
What sets Steemit appart is that not only can you get rewarded by creating content but also by supporting other people, commenting etc. There is a lot of people who does just that and they are able to accumulate a lot of SP just by commenting.
The best though would be do both at the same time :)
I think Steemit incentivises people to create quality content (even people like me that always thought social media was a waste of time) and engage with Steemit crypto-economy community.
Another great comment, and you are just getting started ;-)
Agree
As long as you invest a bunch of money into Steemit, you'll do fine. You could easily self-vote yourself to the top, and then all the 3rd worlders will up-vote you in droves, and leave comments like: "nice post!" in an attempt to get an up-vote. The system is really easy to game actually. 🐳
Great comment!
Yep. Nowhere else does the entertained party get to be rewarded. You can find any information you want on here, and in theory get paid dividends just for social interaction. At the least. If you're good and serious no doubt you make money. How many that say they failed actually put in the time? I'd say 0%
Agreed, imo. this is definitely one of the better looking concepts .
