Not only you dude, there is so much bloggers out there who feel the same thing.
I'm not trying to convince any bloggers who read this Thread, but for a couple times I thought that google lil bit unfair with their rules or regulations for every publishers.
In fact, I admitted that many successful publishers out there which can make more than thousands of dollars a month. But, being publisher is not for everyone.
From what I learned, there is 2 of kind blogger, the real one who blogging because of their passion, and the other one who want to earn money from adsense.
I did once for my passion, but that's it, I don't earn that much from adsense.
Once upon a time I tried to focus on adsense, I'm not comfortable with it because I have to know SEO or something like that which is I hate it.
So, even if I want to earn some money from blogging, adsense is not the only one.
For people like me, doing something that make me more comfort is more important than running with those SEO things and trying to compete with other bloggers and hope to make some money from adsense.
Note : Sorry for my English. I'm not that fluent
