That makes a lot of sense and are very valid reasons. Also, with a bear market, some peop,e are less active on Steem, thus less upvotes and participation to contests, less value of total upvotes to that contest. If it's a net loss sometimes it's better to pause and wait. The reason Steem Mobsters contests are still doing strongly, is that they are giving away cards, so even with little Steem, it doesn't matter.
