Howdy sir Glen! wow, 3.5 weeks! haha, now I know that's a record for you right? And it don't even matter since you're doing so well on Musing. Amazing, but anyway you are WAY in the very top in so many categories on here, I think it's darn impressive!
I guess it's a record, @janton, but a dubious one to be sure. I can't think of another time where I didn't manage to squeeze in a post or two, but that was, as you note, before I started answering questions on musing. Still, I think it's best to keep my hand in blog posts, too, and keep my eyes open for other opportunities, just because musing is one app, and apps have a way of coming and going too quickly.
Impressive seems like an overstatement, but I'm happy with what I've accomplished given all that has happened, so now it's a matter of taking those rankings further, and winding up better than I am now.
kinda ambitious there aren't you? lol..just teasing. What other apps can you earn with, do you know? I hope musing keeps going, that would be incredible wouldn't it?
I think there are users who are doing okay with Steemhunt and actifit. I know I see less of the former in my feed, so I'm not sure if that means they've moved off platform or there are less of them, but I keep reading about how great and innovative they are. I haven't tried actifit (though I probably should) just because I haven't been motivated to exercise.
Well, I know you're kidding, but unfortunately, or fortunately, most of us should be able to move up without a whole lot of trouble, simply because there's a lot of dead fish in these stats, along with those who are here, but not doing as much, etc. At some point, it will get harder to climb up (the replies category could be the hardest to move up in since there's not as much room to move and there's plenty of us in the leagues garnering replies), but those categories where I'm still in the thousands will probably see some decent improvements, except for maybe the following/follower. I don't expect to see that jump because I don't follow to be followed, which is how a lot of folks have their thousands of followers.
As long as musing has a decent delegation, or somehow amasses a bunch of SP on its own, its current curated upvote model can endure. However, who knows how long the delegations will last, and how quickly they can grow their SP. They get curation rewards that are higher than most of ours, but still, it would need to be a lot to make up for a million SP delegation. Also, I'm not sure how anyone is getting paid. It's not in STEEM, since they don't seem to have any of it liquid. It could be they're community managers as they call it are working for future rewards, but that's hard to do without some other means of support.
I don't know enough about what's happening there to make an informed decision, though, so anything I come up with will be based on limited information and what I can see from very far away.
