I guess you won't be in-world tonight.

You're so cruel. Does the driver ed teacher force the students to practice driving stick?

Would you share all the details of you avatar?

I think you would teleport away. -

Why would you walk away? It seems unfriendly. I suggest staying and chatting. -

No, it would take too long. I would tell them to just inspect what I'm wearing or use the HUD, whatwearing, which will list everything. -
My unofficial pet peeve is SL cheerleaders on the forum. Some people just can't acknowledge that the platform has any shortcomings. In their eyes, everything about SL is perfect.

Mentors go beyond helping anyone who asks; some offer unsolicited help, which is creepy. And the question in my mind and probably that of new users, is SL really so drab and dreary that the best way for people to spend their time is to stand around a welcome center? The sale to private equity was because of failure, not success. Earlier investors wanted their money back and SL wasn't generating enough profits to pay them, so SL was sold. The preferred way to cash out investors is an IPO, but that is for successful companies showing substantial growth in users and revenue. The OP has offered a suggestion to help SL grow. It might work. There are a lot of people that attempt to use SL for a dating platform.

What do you equate success with? A dwindling population, decreased revenue, bankruptcy? Basing success on growth is not a highly questionable assumption, it's how organizations become larger, thrive and survive. As far as the mentors being marketing agents, they are there to help retain new users because SL is NOT good at what it does. What's your view of mentors? What is their function? To creep out new residents? Give old residents something to do and a sense of self-importance because they're so bored?

Six years is a long time. There must have been some positive moments, especially at the beginning, otherwise the relationship would have ended much sooner. Remember the positive and leave the negative in the past. Most likely you won't live forever, so try to be happy now. If that's too much for you at this moment, begin with a smaller goal, like getting your soul off life support. Then trying being less sad, followed by finding something to smile about. Don't stop until you reach your final goal. I have it on good authority that some of the best therapy is to rub your face against the fur of a very soft cat. I'm allergic to cats, but I totally think it's worth it. If you're not allergic to cats, that's something to be smile about.

Probably the same thing SL residents think when someone tells them SL is a game for losers and idiots. "It's my life and I'll do what I want."

Creators don't have a monopoly on the market, unlike the Lindex, Marketplace, the exchange for cashing out, and premium subscriptions. There is only one party that runs that, and it's pay the price or do without. If you think a creator's product is too expensive for the features provided, don't buy it and buy a cheaper competing product.

Maybe LL should ban the Marketplace, so the Lab can back to making money from tier. Alternatively, LL could raise the Marketplace commission to 99%. That would incentivize more creators to have in-world stores.
