Hmm... So you arbitrary see your content as high quality. OK. But was there demand for it? Did people want to read it? I see it was mostly about cannabis anyway.

I think that the idea of "I'm going to be rich on steem" is bad approach. As the slogan says - you stay for the people. Do you think you would earn more if you would write on reddit? Steem is not different than any other platform - you need to market yourself, you need to be good at it and people have to enjoy your content to follow you.
