Upvoting your post is genuine. Using bots to upvote a post to popularity, not so much. Flagging abuse is just one negative that turns many off... not the sole reason why people leave. That is left to overall frustration with the platform as a whole. It is NOT a social media platform as many expect it to be, nor was it ever intended to be. It was designed for bloggers and subsequently taken over by pirates! People are discovering other venues with better ROI's.
