It is weird considering many other platforms in the past such as Youtube, Instagram, etc require you to put a lot more work into them before you get to see any adrevenue earnings. In that regard Steem is a lot friendlier and is getting easier and easier to earn something from just participating in certain dapps that will reward you for your activity. Being able to grow your account exponentially over time is also a great advantage for those wanting to be here for the long run.
