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 storms into his Local Gym
RagequitJoe134 This place SUCKS! I'm cancelling my membership!
RandomGymPerson Oh, Ok. Sorry to see you go.
RagequitJoe134 You're sorry?!!? What the fuck is wrong with you? You are a loser for staying. This place is doomed!
RandomGymPerson Well, sir. We are sorry to see you go. You are free to come back anytime.
RagequitJoe134 Come back?! I am never coming back here. You are all idiots. I hate this place!
RandomGymPerson Um, ok. Could you stop shouting and calling me names?
RagequitJoe134 No! You are all fucking idiots! Fuck you!
RandomGymPerson Hmm, can you leave now sir? You are causing a scene.
RagequitJoe134 LEAVE?!?! Are you crazy??? I paid till the end of the month. I AM GONNA COME IN HERE EVERY DAY AND TELL YOU WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS YOU ARE!
RandomGymPerson Get the fuck out of here, now.
RandomGymPerson huckles sad tramp out of the gym doors.
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.
Like that twist of names, hahaha.
In that same post of nonames I made a comment (though in a different context), about longs trips (read Steem"journey"): there can be potholes, sinkholes, but the worst indeed are the assholes ...
Like you said; 'Just go'.
NEXT!!!

LOL, I've been here long enough to have seen a few range quitters, so its no longer fun for you so you need to try and make it not fun for others, its a really weird way of getting closure.

I wish it would give them closure. Instead it's like they can't accept that they didn't make millions and therefore they have to tell us it's not their fault it's the platform and all us drones's fault! Lol
Drones's, is that right. Damn, I'm gonna quit the English language!! You're all fools!!

I'm watching people quit, only to be back months , sliding back in the middle of the night and continuing Post in like nothing happened. This has happened since the place appears to me making money in curation even though the coin is down. I have to believe that I'm doing the right thing because I am still having fun and that has got to be worth something.
Because, no matter how how much money I'm making, unless it's like a gazillion dollars, for that I might stay anywhere. But no matter how much it is, if I'm not having fun come it's not going to be worth me staying to be miserable. So, in fact I have put aside most of the other platforms except perhaps Twitter and occasionally Instagram, steemit is home, sweet home.
And for God's sake people, if you are unhappy from here, run away from home and stop bothering me. Good Sunday morning to you, Boom! It promises to be a good day!

That's what it is like for me. When it stops being fun I will stop. I would never burn bridges and start shit talking. I might actually want to come back. Sensible people think things through!
I see them come creeping back too as if they never quit in a potty mouth froth! Hehe

This is why I still feel bullish on Steem.
I have never seen so many sad users come some place every day to tell everyone how dumb they are for staying...

Is it actually rage quitting if you don't actually quit? It's more like half-arsed quitting. Or half-arsed staying.
Bebo. I have a vague recollection of that word.

Some people are only happy if they can make something out of nothing and moan. I do not understand it - if you do not like to do something or be somewhere or do not like what you hear or see, move on. Why always make a scene. I feel sorry for people like that. They sure do miss out on a lot of great things in life.
