I think it says a lot about your character that when you are able to earn THAT much you still choose to think about others on here.

I am one of the ones that barely gets to $50. I slowed down on writing tons of articles and reading tons of articles each day. In the last 6 months, my most earned month was January. I made $61. I posted 5 times a week and read 30 articles every single day for a couple of months. I now post 3 articles a week and read 10-15 articles I day. I make around $45, which obviously isn't a huge difference. I don't have a lot of hope for doing much better honestly.

I love it here, but I am thinking of taking a longer break with a few check-ins. I'm on the opposite end, but I too think about where I want my writing to go. I think I want to focus on my novel a little harder, but we'll see.

I don't think you should leave because of writers like me or even the ones that work harder. You leaving doesn't guarantee the rest of us to have our earnings shoot up. It would definitely be sad to see you go, but if that's what you end up deciding, I hope you are able to still do great things with your writing. (:
