Steemit will be a disappointment for people who come here just for money. Either they have to be very unique or very talented in something or they'll bite the dust trying. But for those who treat it as a social platform that has an added bonus of making upvotes/likes actually represent something tangible, it can be fun for sure.

So sure, you can try to game Steemit but then you have to really work for it and be realistic.
