Yes it's a mixed bag for all of us here. I'm not a writer like yourself so I'd be foolish to think this was "my job".
I do need to spend less time here. It's crazy the amount of hours I've spent here in my first two months. Double, triple overtime with no pay. Well my reward is knowing now that I won't be quitting. Steemit and the people here have become my favorite online pass-time.
I'm glad you were able to sort things out and have decided to continue doing what you do so well. It does look like your rewards are starting to climb back up from the significant drop after HF19.
I hope to be doing half as well as you are now, in writing and payouts, by the year 2020. It's a reasonable goal for me...like losing the 10 pounds I've gained since joining Steemit. Like I said...it's a mixed bag here. };-)>
BTW...I really, really loved the hiding kitty gif ~smiles~
Keep on Steem'n on!
