it will be hard to do it because the way you pay content creator will affect the type of content they create as well.
Let's face the truth , not all good content can do with low cost . How do we judge is the content value?

Take my channel for example . I learn it is hard to do it here cause the return is low. All the video i upload at Dtube never really help me cover the cost .

See that RM1000 banknote? even at face value is 250USD.
Some people say i did not engage much . I use to engage a lot but let's face it. People want to watch for free rather than paying anything or giving me an upvote.
A good content survive the test of time. My youtube highest earning video is mostly my old video.
youtube ads revenue type is suitable for video that can survive the test of time.
steemit 7 day payout is only suitable for viral video or short term value video.
The ads revenue on steemit won't be much if steemit is going to fill with all this short term value video.
