Hi steemit, shower thought here
Lets take the original Charlie bit my finger, this video has 841 million views and 1.5 million up votes. Not counting the video views and just going by likes, lets say the average steemer generates 0.15 cents per like.
The video would have made the 250,000 dollars, I think this number is being conservative as the steemit ecosystem revolves more on up voting to generate profit whereas Youtube relies on video views.
I know the Steemit user-base is to small now, but maybe in a couple years we will be seeing people making lots of cash.
