Unfortunately there's a huge change this is how onboarders operate.

You're also right about the reason people say they are cashing out. They don't understand that those who are voting them have the power to do so because they chose not to cash out. As I said in my post, everyone is free to cash out, but cashing out every penny then expecting to be supported is a bit selfish.

Everyone has problems to solve, no one's life is a Disneyland.
