Well it's definitely not a dependable income like a 9-5 job. Anyone who replaces a job for Steemit needs to own up to their own personal responsibility in life. Definitely having whales upvote is what gets payouts. Not everyone posts the same quality content to merit the same upvotes. I had another closing caption instead of the one I used, just as long, talking about how you don't need to look at yourself, the quality of your posts, improving exposure, etc.... lol, but I chose this closing instead.

Thanks for the feedback.
