:) steady earnings here is not impossible but depends on connections that people build over the years. Better upvote power will get you more connections and only way to get more upvote power is to win contest or get lucky with the your own post. System could not support all talented people on daily basis because it have limited dollar amount to distribute per day ans per year. These are my observation :) no more and no less :) Just remember that some people been hired (drafted) by Steemit to attract new users . Crypto will recover soon< but not as fast as we all wanted :)
