In November there were as many as 250 different authors posting each day on musing as the chart below shows. 1000 posts / comments were surpassed on three separate days!
These are numbers taken directly from the Steem blockchain to the best of my ability but are not official musing numbers.
In any case, lots of growth!
The dApp hit a peak around the middle of November prior to the crypto crash in the second half of November. With lower rewards, user metric numbers have now pretty much halved since the peak.
This kind of reduction is generally seen across all Steem dApps when the market falls heavily, even though the same amount of Steem is available in rewards!
Hopefully the crypto market will rebound. It will then be interesting to see if users will return.
