Everybody needs some time to relax.

And rightly so because we have to spend some time for our self and for our family.

So I think weekends are such time that everyone want to spend with there family.

Therefore, activity on weekends is low

Well, the weekends are periods for relaxation. People like to take a break from work and everything they see a work, to be with family and have a good time.

During these weekends, parents may take their children out on picnics or to amusement centres and couples their spouses to catch some fun. During this period, it would be out of place to be interacting with those online. The right thing to do then is to turn off data and shut off any form of distraction. This is the most probable reason for people being absent during weekends.

Also, it's during the weekend that people like to travel. During working days, there may not be time for that due to the demands of jobs and what not. The weekend affords the time to be with distant friends and family.

Lastly, people do religious activities during the weekend that may take all their day like going to church, going out for outreaches and so on.

These are the reasons for reduced activities on steemit during the weekend

I believe there is usually low activities on steem during the weekends because many people are spending the weekend offline with their friends or families and hardly have time to come online and spend time on steem during weekends.
