I definitely agree that continuing to post when the price is low is rewarding (as long as you can get people to vote for you!), because the competition stops, and you can accrue steem more quickly.
Besides, steemit has the least toxic community anywhere on the web, so if you want social media interaction, it's healthiest to get it here.
