We can actually see the same thing on Steem when many early accounts are unable to adjust for the changes in the platform and feel that Steem has "lost something" when others see it as a maturing.

I have no time for these people. I have unfollowed all of the 2016'ers who have fallen by the wayside and are now complaining, wailing and hollering how Steem is now ruined. I will continue to ignore those who behave in this manner. It's only human that some people who are accustomed to privilege will complain loudly when it ends. But there is no other way but to adapt and overcome. The enormous potential of this platform is has begun to unfold. The best thing about Steem is that unlike in centrally controlled corporations, the future of Steem is not dependent on a single organization any longer. Steemit Inc is going to survive and the delay in rolling out SMTs is no longer an issue with Steem-Engine. The ecosystem can survive and thrive even without them. I see Steem as much less risky an investment than investing in some single company worth $150 million.
