yeah it is definitely understandable right now with crypto bleeding and fair weather steemians getting discouraged. The requirements also mean that people need to do a bit of work to submit an entry, it's not as easy as a selfie challenge.
Either way, it's a good project and I'm sure it will grow over time
Thanks, we hope it continues to grow. It's a bit more work for some but for others who are already into digging and researching it can be quite rewarding.
