Depends I say…
There is a lot of Cash-Grab and Click-Bait but I for example browse the new section and read (and curate) stuff that pops up. So yeah people are reading things ;)

It is a lot of work, not easy money. There are a few people that make money and do absolutely nothing but post an image. These are the whales, ok there are a lot of Whales who post very good information. But minnows and dolphins need to work really hard to have a chance to even make a penny. I know from personal experience. Almost every post i write takes hours. Maybe it doesn't seem that way but i try to fact check and go over my thoughts a few times.
Ultimately i feel its an investment. Thats how i look at it.

I wait and see if I get any comments to respond to go and support other posts like it. then come back later.
