Well I think you may be the exception. Most people I speak to are feeling it too.
One of my main motivations for posting is that I have a message I would like to share with the world. As you say, page views have dropped significantly since the last hardfork, in spite of their being a lot of new people.
I don't know if this is because no one cares about reading anymore and are just in it for a buck, or if it is that homefeeds have become so overwhelming that not even my followers are able to find my work amidst the work of the other 100's of people they follows. I follow less than 250 and I can't even nearly keep up, forcing me to actively type in the address of those whose work I would like to check up on.
But yes, it is the lack or viewership that I am most bothered by. I would love to make good money too, but I think I accepted a long time ago that I will never make a ton on this account, as too many fuckers with all the influence think I'm a cunt for calling them cunts. Lol.
I'm glad it is going well for you though. And I too have a massive list of articles I want to write at some point. Most of them came to me when I was high though, and I written them down shorthand, so have no idea what the fuck they even mean lol
I think I've always had bugger all people reading anything I posted - used to be I got 100 votes but only 20 actual views.
So I just post stuff for myself and if it gets 10x the payout I'm happy.
But I do always check wallet sizes before calling anyone a cunt :)
I've noticed that half the cunts on Steemit make indignant squeeking noises about "piracy" so it was great to see you mention it.
I seem to be the go to source for movies software and TV for everyone I know so I download about 200gb of "illegal "stuff a month . But when people spazz out about copying and pasting an image, I usually don't mention my hobby of piracy
