Lastly, just leave. This is not Facebook. We don't need a long drawn out explanation that says absolutely nothing about the situation. Just leave.

I don't want to encourage anyone to leave, but I too am tired of the leaving posts, mainly because the reasons for leaving get basic things wrong about the platform. It saddens me because people are obviously pretty confused about it.

To climb off my high horse here, I don't mean to say that leavers or anyone else are dumb, I just think that there is a huge lack of good information about things and it causes confusion. The blame for this lies squarely on Steemit Inc. AKA Hive account@steemitblog , and the onus on fixing the situation also.

For the rest of us, we are going to be here producing new, original, content and making Steemit a better place for those that wish to stick around and work towards that goal too.

I share your attitude and while I haven't produced anything original in a while, this is what I like about here and what I intend to get back into too. Thanks for this. 😎
