That is pretty much guaranteed for two main reasons.

1. The more free content you give away the worse the ctr, ratios, and retention you will get. Plus the same is true for the others in your niche and the entire industry. What they do affects the numbers you will see to some degree.

2. As your competition also submits there will be greater competition for the available views and so your views will tend to decrease over time. It's common sense here that everyone cannot be on the first page forever.

The math here only ends in disaster.
