Great contest, even if I am not qualified because in general I am not posting often enough (I prefer to only write if I feel I have some really interesting thoughts, an mazing idea, great photos or - rarely - a very good video).
I see no reason to post or communicate less because of the current low STEEM price. As you said at the moment one can earn even more STEEM than before.
I really appreciate that you try to communicate exactly this (with @blocktrades support) and keep the community engaged! :)
