Steemit's has a team that travels with famous rappers to collect the funds off of strip club floors after they "make it rain". These funds are split 50/50 with the strippers, much like Steem Dollars and Steem Power are here on Steemit. The strippers in return get a free Steem account to post their college dissertation and get advice from fellow Steemians ... because as we all know, all strippers are just paying their way through college[1].

It's gets complicated past that point and I don't want to bore you with the details, but now you have a basic overview of "where the heck does all this money come from?". So the next time you post, think about that single mom going through college out there dancing her ass off just so you can earn some dough posting on Steem, and make it a high quality post (like the one I just made).
