No, my metaphor is more apt. Reddit is a thief of something they could never create. Its an ex that we should all have moved on from.

100% this. And that's the reason why I left reddit a little over a year ago.

I did left a message explaining my reasoning and where to find me the day I left. Two persons contacted me after that. All the others I had interactions with? Well, they made their choice. Which is fine.

I do understand Blaze's view, it's generous and good willing (like he seems to be in all his endeavors) but, to use your metaphor, I don't wish to spend my time in a thief's house to tell his family/friends they should consider leaving them. They know who they are living with already. They know what's happening, they see it everyday. And they have already decided not to leave. Once again, if I'm disappointed by it, I'm fine with their choice. Maybe they will come when things start to get a lot worse over there, or maybe they won't.
