What I mean is that they mainly care about the value amount rather than how much stake they can build before inflation drops and it gets harder to earn it the same way they may earn it now.

Bullseye.

For sure if hive tomorrow goes to at least more 10 cents of value all of them will be back. The problem was always the onboarding with promising in getting money in exchange of posting. I think onboarders failed a bit on that, I only don't include myself in here because none of my onboarding strategies worked with friends and family. I know how it is hard to onboard, but people come with expectation of earning $$$ not HIVE =p
