Steemit became a scam?

And so I will start the story with the fact that for 2 years I have not received author's fees, curatorial ones. Usually once every 7 days there are charges for either this or that. But I haven't received anything for 2 years. Yes, I heard that steemit stopped paying, became a scam project. Which does not earn money. This is confirmed by the fact that previously it was possible to sell and immediately withdraw to any crypto wallet. Now this is done through third-party exchanges, in addition, the minimum wage there is simply sky-high. For example, to sell steemit you need at least 2. In btc, this will turn out to be 300,000 Satoshi. But how can you earn money? If curatorial and author's fees are not charged more. " two years ago, I earned $1,000 on steemit. Now I can't earn 1 cent. It's sad that a good project has become a scam project
