If you were a publisher, would you continue to offer advances to an author whose work never sells?

Gordon Dahlquist received an enormous advance for his first book. The book flopped, hard. He has published a few follow-ups, because he was signed to a multi book contract. But you can bet he never saw those types of advances again.
