Seriously? Steemit?
Where a lot of people's blog posts are ignored, and they are earning only a few cents with their posts, and thosusands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of people are left (and still leaving) Steemit because of their disappointment?
Certainly not.
Except, if you have a lot of Steem Power, and your upvote worth at least $7, and you wrote two blog posts per day, and you upvote both of them with 100%.
That would make $420 USD per month, which is enough for a living in my country (Hungary).
$420 USD is currently (2019.02.03, 10:55 CET) 116 193 HUF, because $1 USD is currently 276.65 HUF.
To do this, you currently (nowadays) need approximately at least 347 000 Steem Power.
So, except for some cases, Steemit can't be a major source of livelihood because of the selfishness and the greed of the people. Almost everyone wants to write, but almost no one wants to read and communicate.
So, Steemit can't be a major source of livelihood for most of the people.
Except, if they change their behavior.
But the Steem blockchain maybe.
Steemit and the Steem blockchain are two different things.
There are some good dApps on the Steem blockchain, and probably there will be more in the future.
These good dApps have really good communities (very different communities from the "community" of Steemit).

I agree it would be hard to make a living on Steemit but I believe it can be a good way to earn a bit of side income. When you start out it is hard to make money but I think if you keep working on your blog and put in some work as with any business you can keep increasing your earnings over time. It might take a while but you could build up s nice side steam of income if you post good content and research strategies for increasing earnings.

Steemit, Inc. not. But I think in 5-6 years STEEM can be.

Voted for Yes.

Sometimes, for some people, like witnesses or full time writers, but it is difficult.
