You hit the "nail on the head" it takes time to present decent posts no matter what you present. Self-pride to present the best you are able with facts eats into time, how many would stop using a platform if there is nothing worthwhile/informative/interesting to read.
Many strong bloggers are putting up fresh content every day with very little reimbursement. Gaming the system 'if it makes people happy, so be it', by your own content and admittance, pride in work comes first and foremost, keep going!
