Why are you on Steemit? Honestly?
Let's be honest, why are we here? Are we all here for the money or for the sole purpose of having fun and interact like we do on Platforms like Twitter or Facebook? Greed can be the biggest problem on this platform. It's already is. 
But I still couldn’t figure out how much money this has compare to YouTube really
Users decided how much money they want to give so your profit is kind of unlimited while on YouTube there it's all depends on views
I'm not sure it's greed if I'm making less than a $1 a week. But I see it as revenue generating which I couldn't do when I was blogging over 10 years ago.
Just posting to get money will not be as fun as it is to do it for free. Even if it's only a dollar. The best way to make it fun is by having fun, profit will folllow
Honestly, My purpose is money but also having fun and writing skill.
That's very honest of you man.
