Ironically, if you had a blog on WordPress get really popular, and got paid through advertising revenue, or your YouTube channel likewise went viral, people would more likely see it as "success" and "legitimate" and "work" instead of greedy.
The main roadblocks I have been seeing is that people find cryptocurrencies confusing, or they are dependent on Social Security payments and are afraid of losing that if they earn too much here. Of course, the perception is that SSI is permanent and certain, but as our government has proven, they will screw over the little guy the first chance they get, and nothing is certain. I at this point need food stamps to survive, but read that it's possible with the government shut down that could be cut off; not to mention the ridiculous hoop jumping they make you go through to prove you still need help, with every blip in the process made to get you kicked off the rolls so they don't have to help you anymore. I literally on Saturday went and spent the rest of the money in my food stamps account and stocked up in case it got cut off. I relish the thought of not needing them anymore. It's so soul-sucking and uncertain. I have been almost kicked off because they said didn't have documentation that I already had provided three times. And the rules around it make it clear the aim is not to help you get on your feet, but to keep you down, as evidenced in my friends' fears of earning "too much." I will be glad when I earn enough to not have to need help anymore.
