That's true. Minimizing churn is it's own discipline in product and UX development.

There certainly are, however, the number of users was never as large as many of the higher estimates (based on accounts and registrations). A huge number of those were always multiple accounts owned by one person or scam/bulk registrations. Even things like commenters was massively inflated by comment bots at one point. In terms of real, active human users it seems like 2000 might be a reasonable estimate for the peak and something like 1000 now.
