>Self-sustaining community effort? Good luck with that.

Hope so. We don't need a lot of names to be alive. We just need people that care enough. 

>I rarely receive real, human comments under my posts.

It's natural and that's how real and valued engagement is to the platform. Engagement is more important than the upvotes one gets because it's all empty victory if nobody bothers to comment on your work after having so many accounts upvote it. 

>So much for the community effort.

It's a given. But these people would not understand how simple engagement on strangers can affect their routine on the platform. I haven't been active in the platform due to real life drama but when I was, I used to be dropping several comments on curation spree. They do return the favor back and most don't but I get a few followers and that's good enough for me. 

I delegated to steem-ua which adds my ranking whenever I have new followers, in exchange, the upvote weights on the program gets higher for me. They don't need to engage with me  but their follows help me for a long time.

(<em>Although in Musing's defense I also don't know what they can post but a little post that says they are still active and up would have been nice XD</em>)</p>\n<p>SndBox is posting daily blog posts but it's reach are only to a few people. A part of me thinks that Steemit Inc might have thought that the delegation for Musing, SndBox and DSound wasn't that properly utilized <strong>since only a few people are being reached by this platforms</strong> compared to DTube, SteemPress and SteemHunt. (<em>That or they are really trying to exit Steem with all the power-downs happening XD</em>)</p>\n<p>With the current disappointing price of Steem, Musing's options to move forward is very limited considering that they don't take any beneficiary rewards. Musing needs another angel that is willing to delegate a huge SP <strong>with no strings attached </strong>in order to keep the platform afloat and it's users to still be motivated to stay.</p>\n<p>I am one of those who were here before the 1 million SP delegation from Steemit Inc but it is worth to note that the price of Steem back then was above $1. The vote wasn't much compared to after 1 million SP but people (and I myself) was still motivated since I am getting around $0.2-$0.6 from some of my answers back then even with less than 500kSP. &nbsp;That kinda worked for me because Steem was above $1.</p>\n<p>With Steem at $0.25 and assuming that around half of the genuine Musing users would stay, I really foresee that it's much harder to scale the votes and with people earning only $0.01-$0.1, I can't really blame them for leaving.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So in conclusion, I think one way to move forward is to find a new angel that would delegate a huge SP with no strings attached. As much as I believe that some Musers will delegate to Musing to help the platform, I don't really see this happening and quite frankly most of us are only planktons/minnows so that also won't help that much.
