Those are just people looking for excuses. In fack, most popular accounts don't even have any background on youtube.
It's not easy to be very successful here on steemit - but it's the same everywhere else. Not everyone has the character, brains or creativity to do it. That's just life.
What sets Steemit appart is that not only can you get rewarded by creating content but also by supporting other people, commenting etc. There is a lot of people who does just that and they are able to accumulate a lot of SP just by commenting.
The best though would be do both at the same time :)
