I still like having multiple websites because it protects against putting all your eggs in one basket. I've seen good websites lose traffic for reasons that had nothing to do with the owner's effort. Having another project can make those situations easier to handle financially. However, I agree that there is a limit. If you have ten websites but don't have enough time to maintain them properly, diversification becomes a burden. My ideal setup would be one major site and perhaps two smaller sites that require relatively little attention.

The part about content volume really resonates with me. I used to set monthly publishing targets because I thought more articles automatically meant more traffic. Eventually I realized some of those articles didn't need to exist at all. They were too similar to existing pages or covered topics that had little value to my audience. Now I spend more time improving existing content and looking for gaps that actually matter. That change reduced my publishing volume but improved the overall quality of the site.
