Oh, I had a similar experience. I reached 100 clicks a day by posting 3-10 articles a day. But as soon as I stopped posting, the impressions started to decline.
As soon as I had 3-5 articles that were close to the top 10, I manually formatted them, added images (oh, by the way, how are you with images? That was a pain for me), and these articles appeared and remained in the top. I think after the first index, I didn't have time to get caught by the AI filters, and then after my edits, the articles became human-readable.
