We don't see any growth and it takes about an hour a day to post all the articles and it's not worth the amount of time we put into it. Should we just kill it or redo it and make it all automatic with rss feeds kinda like hacker news. What do u think?

#4You're averaging < 11 people a day. It doesn't sound like this is something that people want - I wouldn't invest more time in it. Just my opinion.

we don't have a product it's basically a free research site so the only monetization we get is from adwords which requires very high traffic to make any money
Money sounds rough unless you can get to some form of productization. I'm don't know the size of the potential user base for what you are offering, so I don't know how realistic a high number of users is or isn't. It sounds like you're already a resource for a niche, and if you like that, then take the burden off of yourself and automate as much as possible.
