Few things improve without judgements and subsequent complaints. One could even argue that those who don't complain don't care enough. You don't make a very good point here.

It was a question asking why stay where one doesn't enjoy mor need to stay, not a statement, so there is no direct point.
Complaints and judgements however are statements based on opinion that could lead to raising questions but in and of themselves, do not require solution directly.
When it comes to caring, that requires follow through of some kind to improve circumstances, doesn't it?
No, not for users of a social media site. It is very uncommon to expect users themselves to solve the problems they broach.
Might be a bit different in a decentralised community that allows users to directly reward each other to anonymous accounts though. Not many of those out there so uncommon is likely.
Why would it be different? Many users here who perceive problems with the various goings-on and complain do not necessarily know how to solve those problems, nor should that in any way be upon them on a social media platform that wants to attract more mainstream users from outside.
Also, the problem-solving when it comes to reward algorithms and anything on, or close to, the blockchain is far less decentralised than you seem to think, and operates increasingly without listening to even those users who can and do make improvement suggestions.
I guess people have to complain to the right people who can do something then.
Still none of this answers the initial question of why if someone doesn't like to be here (or anywhere) they don't have to be, why stay.
Because they like the general idea and don't want to vote with their feet but want to make things better? Or because they liked things better the way they were and want to put some effort into returning to a better version?
Some stay for lack of alternatives, but that reason won't last for much more than a year. Too many alternatives will pop up, and are already appearing.
A choice.
Impossible because the system and user base has fundamentally changed and many who earned early and had a chance to influence matters no longer have much of what they earned to do so.
Lots of alternatives coming so if they don't see the future here, why stick around, why not just go and be a first adopter and join/build the new versions?
Meh. System changes like reward curves and delegations can be undone or changed in a HF. Nothing impossible about it.
@ocrdu:
Oh, one could argue that, but first I would have to know the real meaning of the word complain. To me the word complain has a bit of a bad vibe. Complaining is different than giving (negative) feedback. Or being sarcastic. Or passive-aggressive.
"Could you pass the potatoes!"
"Why are there no potatoes this side of the table."
"As always the potatoes were in front of someone else, not me."
"Pass the freaking potatoes!"
"Excellent potatoes, next time could I get the potato bowl first because last time I got nothing."
Different tones.
So if complaining is more like nagging or bitching, then I would say that the ones who don't complain are wise and care enough so that they are not irritatingly whining about everything to everyone.
On the other hand if complaining is similar to giving negative feedback, then it may be that if someone never complains, that person doesn't care enough to make things great again.
