Regarding leaving blogs: Out of sight, out of mind.

Psychological explanation: Making something like leaving blogs or anything else similar would serve as a physical stimuli that enables/causes thoughts about the reader leaving as well.

This may be a wierd example but think of it as leaving an "suicide" note by the front door of a long-distance and suicidal friend you hardly see in a long time. The friend would carry on their day but would abruptly change routine and become alarmed if they read the note, causing them to think of thoughts that would ultimately help push them to take their own life as well. However, if the note is nonexistant; it's unlikely the person/would-be reader would change their routine or become alarmed at all if they don't know you are having an anything important.

Our minds enable us to try to understand WHY people leave and put ourselves in the situation in order to understand it, thus our thoughts mentally drift to "what if I leave?" and further questions are stemmed from that question. Therefore, removing the blog has found that it makes users less likely to leave, especially if the person is leaving has loyal following.

Remember: Out of sight, out of mind.
