At this moment in time I'm still figuring out what makes Steemit special when it comes to creator-consumer relationship.
Probably the fact that the creator gets paid good money (it might be different in 6 months or 2 years - we are talking about the current state of affairs) and the consumer doesn't have to do anything for it except click an upvote (he doesn't need to pay and he doesn't need to see ads). It's a pretty unique or special arrangement.
Hmm yeah you're right.. it may be as simple as that.. I wanna bring my music production on steemit soon i'm just wondering how to do it well :)
