I am not in your league my friend, but I repeat the important paragraph yhay you wrote here, as I am doing exactly the same.

"Everyone has their own path to take, this has been mine, and part of the reason is that while I might not have many competitive advantages, one I do have and can control is my content creation and consistency. It hasn't mattered whether STEEM is high or low, it hasn't mattered if bidbots controlled 40% of the pool and distributed to 3% of the users, it hasn't mattered if there is a curve or linear rewards, 25 or 50% curation, dead chain after hardforks, spikes in price or being 95% down from the highs or whether I am getting trolled or downvoted - I keep writing, I keep engaging, I keep positive".

This is for sure the way to go!
Blessings!
