"As if people ever leave their social media." Friendster, Orkut, Google+, MySpace, Vine, Flickr, Friendfeed...they absolutely do.

  Who left Friendfeed? I don't remember people leaving it. I remember people not joining it (after its glory days) and then Facebook closing it. Idem for Orkut (mostly only popular in Brazil IIRC). If you thought of an exodus after investors meddled in, mentioning Digg v4 (to Reddit) would have been à propos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg#Digg_v4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg#Digg_v4

    "I remember people not joining it (after its glory days) " That's just the obverse of leaving isn't it? The site loses any momentum, becomes stagnant, and peters out, or in the case of Friendfeed, became ripe for acqui-hiring, then effectively spun down. Orkut actually kept growing for a while, but in secondary markets (not just Brazil, but that was its biggest geo), until started to stagnate then decline. Digg is a great example as well.

  No one really left Google+. Mainly because no one really went to Google+.
