Does hiring a team makes it dishonest to profit from Steemit? Think about it, any profits that sweetsssj makes have to be split amongst the writers, the photographers, the editors, and the translators.
In order to keep churning out post after post of interesting content to garner upvotes, money has to be invested into flights tickets, makeup, and other miscellaneous activity.
So what you are trying to say is that the overall work that goes into production is easy? Do they actually make a profit from all the work that goes into each blog post?
The world doesn't care about how you do something. The world cares about results and results only.
You are just being absolutely self-centered and selfish with such a statement:
It would be nice to earn some money here but I want to do it honestly.
If you truly want an honest job, go work a 9-to-5 and pay your taxes.
