I'm sort of like that. I had huge curies which motivated me to post basically crazy detailed art posts. I've had a big drop off quite recently and I stopped doing very detailed posts but I haven't stopped posting. I had and still have realistic expectations, but I can't afford a non paying hobby at the moment. So I scaled my posts down, reflecting my payouts. Bigger payout means bigger post next time. Constantly adjusting is probably the best way to survive the ups and downs on Steemit :)
