Not dry at all. It's a good point. I need to compare year on year earnings. It's hard to compare though, because I never used to publish more than once a day, but recently, I've tried publishing more frequently to see if the first post flops, perhaps the second will find an audience. I've also spent more time trying to make almost every piece boostable for a couple of months, and while I had some successes, that took a lot more time out of my working day on other projects. So it's not a fair comparison when I've been working harder on it this year, even if I did make an extra couple of hundred dollars. But I will do a comparison, because it will be interesting to see.

Also, a lot of the best quality stuff dies a quick death, which is so frustrating, so I'm not sure it is the answer to increasing the readership. Maybe it's good quality within popular subjects - whatever that means.
