I know several photographers that make a very good living from stock photography. Let me make one point. It must be professional photography that makes the money. A snapshot of your cute dog, adorable kid, pretty girlfriend, won't cut it unless it is done professionally and cleanly or you get a lucky shot. There are strict size and quality requirements as well. The dollar stock agencies are less strict, but most of their photos are unusable and only a few make the big money. Whatever percent of one dollar they pay.... I am a photographer and I use RF stock frequently for my advertising magazine.

But it's not a free ride, earning money with stock photography is just like any other job, it involves work and in most cases A LOT OF HARD WORK, you most likely won't make a fortune. There are tens of thousands of photographers out there who are making a nice little income on the side by selling their work.
