It is true that some left for various reasons, and some certainly because they were no longer motivated (financially) or they got scared after CM was banned. However, many remained and are still active regardless of the fact that the campaigns pay quite low pay rates compared to what they paid before. It would be interesting to see what would happen if some campaigns significantly raised pay rates - that is, if that would motivate some old members to return.
The campaigns don't need to augment their pay rates for whatever reasons that should be.... I mean, they could decide to not raise the payments. Secondly, you also don't have to force things on people; alot of posters with accounts in disguise in here are millionaires.. if they choose to not advertise any casino for offering a lower pay rate, that's exactly their own decision!
There is some truth in that, but it's still hard to replace some members who have been on the forum for a long time and they were extremely high-quality posters. In addition, new members used to definitely have a motive to one day become members of some of the best paid sig campaigns, today there is no such motive at all - although for some, even $100 a week is certainly a lot of money.
it's appalling that the actual genuiness and hunger for more adept knowledge on Bitcoin has been traded for a token; if truly, most people left the community for that reason, I'll be damned for not knowing how less interested people could be on things they earn nothing from.
