The entire idea of making a living by being a content creator on Steem at the moment is something anyone living in a first world country should not even consider. What we have is a platform very much a work in progress. The value of the token is speculative as it is based on future expectations of what can be accomplished if everything pans out. It would be completely foolhardy to even consider that at this stage.

What Steem needs is the necessary features for mass onboarding before any content creator can realistically consider this a place to earn a steady income.

Rather than some downvotes I'd worry about the token price plummeting if I were a content creator trying to make a living off Steem.
