Let them leave, I say. It only makes the platform better, no offense. The platform never sold untold riches, it’s marketers pretending to be writers who did that. People should come here to write and mostly to read. Those who wanna write here, can also get an extra buck out of it instead of toiling away on their personal blog that nobody knows about and perhaps doesn’t make a single cent. The more leave, the better for us who stay. More and higher quality readers for us. Win-win, if you ask me.
