I have the exact same experience. Coasted on FB viral apps for a while, some days making 10K+ then the crash. Felt shitty when I had to find a job again and do the 9-5.
Which apps were these? I had one popular app in 2008 which was in the top 20 apps I recall, but certainly never had any 10K days. Best day was 720k pageviews and I was getting paid around $1 CPM.
