Always remember: Steem - including all of the interfaces (Steemit/Busy, Utopian, d.tube, dmania & Co.) is still very very very ... very new.
Especially from a tech point-of-view.
And there is also a reason why Steem and Steemit are both still in official beta status:
My opinion is that everyone here should be grateful about having the chance to work with such an incredible technology - even if there are some problems.
I mean - where else are you able to earn like on Steem through blogging and making contributions?
Thanks for your important comment.
Sadly nowhere.
That said, I'm not aware of anywhere else where you can pay to get such good exposure for your writing, either. And people are incentivized to comment on it.
But to lead people to believe that there's a chance they're going to make any money here without copying Twitch IRL's style is bordering on unethical.
Please what do you mean by copying Twitch IRL's style?
Someone here is deluding himself but I doubt it's yallapapi. Where do you think the money is coming from?
If this ecosystem would work as advertised than you would have a ton of people reading a mediocre poem (cause what poem isn't mediocre?) and go like "hell yeah, I tip him $ 0,30 for that." And then he would go and upvote another 5 interesting posts for the day. He would donate up to 1 or 2 dollars a day of his OWN money to complete strangers?
7 to 14 $ a week?
30 to 60 $ a month?
Since when are people on the internet so generous that this is happening on a daily basis?
Look at some famous quality youtubers and their patreon accounts. Sometimes they got millions of followers and barely a few hundreds patreons.
okay, so where is the money coming from? I'm all ears
The value droped hard since december.

But even if it wouldn't have: Just because some people buy SBD that doesn't mean that a content creator here on steemit gains additional SBD. He only would get additional SBD if someone who bought SBD would transfer it to his steemit, convert it to steempower and upvote the content creator (effectively tipping him with his own money).
But this kind of generosity isn't seen often in the internet.
