I disagree. A person with much Steem can create a few lines of drivel . .. and post often upvoting themselves. I'm not naming names but, they know who they are.
A person can write for hours and receive 2 or three cents from people who use a fraction of their voting power. If they vote at all.
My proof . . . Memes make more money than articles.
