I wrote 13 stories in July. Not a story a day, but not to shabby. I spend TONS OF TIME reading and commenting. This is working for me. I comment and highlight my butt off. I did over $700 in July. So, like you, I experimented. July may be a fluke. I got Covid again this month, so I have been sleeping more.but still doing ok. Read this maybe. https://medium.com/p/9f9e7d366e3c
