Almost everyone came here because the "easy money". If you think about it, it is not easy money. You have to put many time into the platform and every 9/5 job would make you earn more in the first months even if your content is really good.

To succeed on steem you have to do things you do not really like and to suck many many dicks because you need a good followerbase, communities and dolphins/whales to make enough to live just from the steemit income.

The reason most people fail is because they joined steemit because of their greed and not because of passion or purpose to writing or creating good content. 95% of the content is just trash repeating something you can read everywhere outside of steemit. And because we are missing unique content and everyone is greedy this platform is almost doomed
