Ahh, you say that now, but what will it be if you disappear in the next infrastructure/algo/update change?

Really, it's great that you're doing well in BigDaddy (ridiculous name, and whomever is responsible for it is far from being a genius), and for my own two sites, I did well, but there are many who didn't do well and remain casualties of Google's dominance of internet search, and Google's apparently shoddy efforts at it (speaking as a user, they leave much to be desired).

So, live it up at the moment, but don't get bogged down in schadenfreude - you might be a future casualty.
