I have to respectfully disagree. 6/7 stories last month were boosted. I spent on average 8 hours on each story. Those 6 stories made more than 25 stories made 18 months ago. I spent on average 5 hours per story back then. From where I am standing, writing less does actually produce better stories that have a higher chance of getting boosted, than writing more for pennies. That said, this is MY experience.
