Great post, and yes, the winner is definitely Steemit. I've made money on here for my writing for the first time ever. I've hired people off upwork and similar sites (though as VAs, not for writing) and know how they work from that end, so can imagine how they work from the other end. On there people are paying a pre-agreed amount for an article, but on here you never know how much you're going to make. I've had one article earn me $350 once STEEM is converted into USD. And that's as a very new Steemer, on here not even a month yet. At that point I was only on here a week!

I definitely recommend bloggers come to Steemit instead of those other platforms if they want to actually be paid to write. And you get to write whatever you want! Just make sure you read lots of help articles (of which I've written a couple) so that you can get started right.

Not everyone is making significant money on here.
