Did you ever have a Bebo account?
I did, it got a bit shit and I left.
There were others. They were good, then they got a bit shit and I left.
Most recently I created a Sola account, it was a beautiful and well-designed app. In the end though, it was full of scammers and abusers and plagiarists.
In essence, it got a bit shit and I left.
There have been a number of platforms, apps and forums I have been in over the years. If they get a bit shit, I leave. I don't make a fuss. Occasionally I tell people I might be close to that I am not going to use it anymore and how to get a hold of me elsewhere.
That's about it.
So what is it about Steemit that drives some people stone-cold bonkers when they "leave?" I use the quotes because all too often they don't leave. Instead, they hang about making a stink. Telling everyone the platform is doomed, the token is going to zero. Yada yada yada.
This has been going on since I started. The token descended from about 4 dollars all the way down to seven cents. It took a while but it just kept getting lower.
Right from the get-go, there were people rage quitting.
This place is a scam!
You're all fools!
My magic left testicle says Steemit is doomed!
Guess what? We are still here!
Yesterday a new one popped out of the woodwork on @nonamesleftlouise's post here
It was the same old same old. Spiced up a little with the I used to be a somebody so I know what I am talking about kind of twaddle.
This dude @planetnamednancy who no-one had ever heard of, claimed he is only hanging around whilst his powerdown completes.
Have they changed the power down so that you have to check in daily and make abusive rage comments or it gets cancelled?
No, of course, they haven't. These people though, they just can't help themselves. It can sometimes be entertaining but most times is just a pain in the arse.
I wonder what they are like in the rest of their lives. Can you picture it?

RagequitJoe134 NO! No! This is a conspiracy!! This is CENSORSHIP!!
You get what I mean. For fuck sake. So to all you rage quitters. Just leave. Don't be a sad-arse. Have some self-respect, take the money the platform gave you and just go.
Bye.
