Whats the reason for reduction in frequency of contests nowadays ? Like just 1 or max 2 per week.
Is it due to cheating or some other reason ?

Contests to the people! How hard is it to build a working contest preparation system? It’s not exactly state‑of‑the‑art technology.
Since you are Pupil, I believe you have not set a single contest; therefore, you would not truly know how hard it is to set one. From the sliver of knowledge I have about setting contests, I believe it takes a lot of time and effort, especially if you are trying to create one that would satisfy thousands upon thousands of people.
i was making irony of the people writing this blog and trying to say that it is hard to do one while also making reference of the game Cities:Skylines.(there is a chirper line when you dont connect the power grids which says "Power to the people! How hard is it to build a working power grid? It’s not exactly state‑of‑the‑art technology.")in conclusion, i didnt mean to offend anybody and i can think of many problems that you can come across while problem setting. i am sorry if i offended you.
No, I am certainly not offended, as I have never participated in setting a contest. I only wanted you to cut the contest setters some slack, as it is not an easy task.
just for one problem you need to build up a checker, validator, the correct solution make the problem text itself and translate it, then send it to the coordinator and if he doesn't approve it, debug it.
waiting for div 3 and div 4
Not quite. Preparation is always exists. Problemsetters would like to choose weekends to host their contests though they will have to wait.
