It's all about stability, I don't think these days it's really possible to have a 100% stable income but looking at the numbers other people get and so on it does at least seem possible to make good chunks of money out of it if you becomes successful like with youtube. I'm making little bits of money from just posting up the progress of my games development and it's really nice to see people upvoting and following it, even better that I can get something out of it for doing so.

The difference between Steemit and Yotube however, is that Steemit users don't have to rely on annoying their end users with advertising and that's actually really nice. I do wonder about whether or not Steemit will last long term though especially as it grows bigger and other special interests get involved.
