Obviously the short reply is that many people are not writing answers and that's why we have more and more unanswered questions. But the truth is that people are still asking questions and that is a success in itself. Remember that Musing is a question-answer platform and this means that answers are only half of it and questions are what makes the rest.

I feel that it is much easier to ask questions than to answer them. So it could be one of the possible reasons to have more questions than answers on Musing. The fact that questions may take only a few lines to ask but writing answers sometimes take much more time than that, is definitely a part of the equation.

Secondly we have a trend of people not upvoting each other. The fact is that, we should not be dependent solely on Musing for upvotes. Those who get decent answers for their questions, should make sure that they upvote and promote those answers to reward the users. It is ultimately us, who should be promoting and curating each others content.

Thirdly those who answer the questions(and all of us in general) should also understand that Musing is still upvoting good answers.

Apart from the above reasons, it would be prudent and helpful for us all to take a deeper look into your question. Musing.io is itself a great app with the potential to put it at the top. We need to remember that we are only a year old and have built a substantial and a loyal user base during this short time. Back in 2018 we got a decent sized delegation and that allowed Musing to hand out generous upvotes to it's users. This gave us the necessary boost and Musing was launched into the Steem ecosystem in a big way.

As usual we attracted people and became hot very quickly. Some of these people were simply here to make money and while others were merely passing time and having a bit of fun. Amongst this crowd was a select group of people who realized the true potential of a dapp like Musing and understood what it could mean for the future. (You can see that some of these people are still active). Unfortunately we didn't get enough time to build a large group of these individuals and before we knew it, the delegation (of a million Steem tokens) was withdrawn.

I firmly believe that this delegation no matter how large, was still a mere catalyst. With it we could have reached our destination much quicker and without it we still will reach their, albeit a bit slowly. It goes without saying that if the right investor comes along, then this process can be quickly accelerated again!
