Well, Sandra, you called out the elephant in the room and I applaud you for doing so. I am experiencing the same thing.

Like Alex said, Boost or Bust. The new slogan for these times.

I used to make a decent amount of money every month a few years ago. Many articles were going bonkers. And, I always reminded myself: You got into this because you loved to write and want to make a difference. That carried me for a long time, and still does.

However, and there's a big however now. I'm not willing to spend zillions of hours writing what I think is decent stuff and having it go nowhere.

So, what do I do? I do other things and when the smoke clears in my head and I feel inspired about something I write. It just isn't the same. My expectations are low. Li

Like David Gerken says, should I stay or go.

I'll stay for now, but most of my energy is going elsewhere and I wish it were different.

Riding the waves and happy for the supportive feedback I do get from the many wonderful people out there. -:)
