I did something similar to you as well ... when Steem/SBD prices were low between October to November ... I had post less during that time ... which was a mistake.
But now that Steem/SBD has been dropping in the past month .. I've actually been posting much more often .. .so I'm not making that same mistake again.
We are still early in the SteemIt community game ... hasn't even launched full wide to the general public so we good :)
