RE: I love the smell of hopium early in the decade
There are so many different levels of leaving.
Go look at my profile, and I haven't posted in over a month. Does that mean I left?
I still comment and upvote. I still hold meetups. I play splinterlands every day and run a level 9 guild; but to somebody who only blogs and does so twice a day, I've effectively left the platform.
Somebody who hasn't interacted in a year, but hasn't powered down? Have they left?
If their auto-voter's running, maybe they're helping by not competing with active users for posting rewards.
As the chain becomes more and more things to more and more people, concepts like being here are going to become increasingly opaque.
Oh yeah this is definitely true, I'm guessing my definition of leaving is having emptied their accounts and not done any actions whatsoever since, having an autovoter running with no influence wouldn't count as being here in that case. If they've made a post expressing why they're leaving or throwing dirt at Steem because of the bear market and decline in price being a main reason they got frustrated and left would make it obvious why they came back - and even so Steem would still welcome them.
Like I said though, I'd rather spend time and invest in new users than those who left with empty promises or got butthurt because of something and didn't follow through with what they said they were going to do. I'm mainly talking about curators here who also posted and wanted to grow to "support many others" but quickly ran away when things got tough.
