I know what you mean, I look at my own stake at pushing on to 160,000 and think how bonkers it is, and how far away that seemed when I began in June 2017. I've not taken any out other than to trade, increase and put back so that helps, as well as curation rewards. 87K of author rewards and 26K of curation rewards over that time...numbers I couldn't even imagine back then.
The rage quitters are rather laughable right? The self-damage they do is of no consequence, but the damage they do as they exit the Hive community is there also, unfortunately. They go to other places and talk smack, always leaving out the details to suit their own ends, and damage occurs. Did you know I have my own tag on Blurt where they say disgusting things? I've not seen it as I never look at Blurt but have been told it's there. I don't care though, those people all deserve each other.
