You can get like 2 or more Steem in one hours worth of work
This is probably true for those with a decent amount of SP and at least a few dozen regular readers. But it’s not as if you can easily extrapolate that, crank out 8 posts a day and make 16+ Steem per day. Sure, @haejin can do 10 posts a day and earn a lot (when not getting turboflagged), but he’s a special case.
I meant regular work. In general I think it's easier to work a regular job and buy Steem.
