You're honest and that is great. In fact, the more honest members like you on Steemit, the more the chance this platform has to survive and prosper.
I agree that this might be a ''new job'' for many successful Steemians and good for them! But it is not the case of the majority.
I believe we should be on Steemit for the pleasure of sharing posts and having some rewards (better than on Facebook or Instagram where only your ego gets rewarded), but not solely depend on it to make a living.
I also post once a week, since I have many other life projects ongoing. I believe it's a good way to maintain your presence on Steemit. Those that post daily surely have the time to do so! But I don't necessarily feel inclined to read them daily either...
