I stopped to caring about rewards for now, meanwhile at the very first when I started on steem (in 2018), I cared way too much. I followed user created guides on how a post should be formatted, what to respect, that I should post daily and so on, so that I can get more upvotes and higher rewards. And this thinking was very exhausting for me. Don't get me wrong, I am every time very happy when I get some big fat upvotes, overall I just have changed my mindset. I mean, here I get at least somehow, some rewards without the need to fulfilling too many conditions to earn by advertisements somewhere else. And when there are comments under my post, that i see as an extra reward on top.
For me, hive became my blog platform and yes, that's it, here I am. Just that. Free webspace where I can more or less do what I want. I have given up to think about Blogger (Google) or whatever is outside there.
Great perspective. At a quick glance only suggestions for improvement I'd have for your account would be more engagement like this, maybe follow a few more users you are interested in (:P) and subscribe to communities you like to have a nice community feed you can browse which may make you wanna be more active socialising and growing your audience.
