It all depends, the money is there, I cashed out 327 USD so it is real, but if you can't get up votes you are wasting your time, I have over 900 followers and I post regularly and yet I have to use minnowsupport so my posts make at least 1 dollar, so even a large number of followers doesn't equal success here because very few people upvote minnows, imagine how difficult it must be for someone just starting out.

I don't have to imagine. When I was starting out there wasn't any minnow support. It took forever before most of my posts earned a dollar. I survived 7cent steem and a month worth of an empty rewards pool. Yes, I know it is tough. We need more people reading and curating. I am not saying it is perfect, I am just saying it is work.
What job do you start, what business do you start and expect to become an instant success?
Bots have made it a heck of a lot easier, if you know how to use them. Most of them are well worth the investment, and there will be more to come. A good thing, IMO, because the bots all require investment into the system to be useful and operate (I get a big LOL out of the bots that have 0 SP offering to resteem and upvote for SMD) and produce a tangible benefit and net profit for everyone involved.
Shameless self-promotion for one of my posts for those who want a list of bots they can use to get upvotes:

I don't mind most of the bots, and your link was so shameless, I voted on your post as well.
