I was checking my ranking on Steemfriends tonight and saw Musing just ahead of me which kind of surprised me as they were growing rapidly and was a popular app a few months ago.
I powered up like I always do and rechecked the rankings and Musing had disappeared from view. I checked on what they were up to and couldn't believe they are still powering down. An App that had over a million delegation at one point has less than 3500 SP tonight.
There has to be a reason behind this and maybe they are funding some development.They have been voting again but with very little SP compared to what they had at one point.The no communication and silence from them doesn't give me heaps of confidence either, but I haven't written them off completely just yet.
I popped into their discord for a quick look around and the owner mentioned a big announcement is coming soon.What that could be I have no idea and it could be so many things.Have they looked at Steemhunt's model and are now going to try and replicate it?
I have no idea if they can turn things around or they are just going to fade away. We need apps that can survive on their own two feet and it will be interesting to see what happens over the coming months. Will they get the support that they once had back if they suddenly try something new.
I would delegate, but I would have to see it running properly and not in an amateurish way like before. When you have 100 percent Voting power sitting for hours on end I just see dollars being flushed away in curation. Over a three month period they threw thousands away by not being active and it was frustrating being part of the set up.The problem is it causes a massive backlog and then good questions and answers have to be skipped because there are only so many votes. If they had voted correctly they could have handed out way more rewards making more curation for themselves.Investors would not be happy seeing this type of behavior either.
I am going to start doing a bit more over there again offering my support.They helped me grow so the least I can do is help them by being more active.

I am glad you posted this. I have been using Musing for quite some time now and though I took a break for a bit, it sounds like it might be a good time to be a little more active again. I really want it to succeed. They just need to get their stuff together!
