Aah yes i thought of this. And Yes you are right. But the reward pool is subjected to getting upvotes in the first place..there are content writers out there who get 50-60$ on average on each post but with less visibility and less number of upvotes (even if the reward pool gets bigger due to people not being on steemit for christmas)..

But i did not say that they should stop posting at all.. my advice is just to expand the horizon on steemit and do other stuff too until their audience come back...

Thank you mate for the advice tough.. i am sure people will find this "chance for a bigger bite from reward pool" very attractive too..
