Some of the argument might be true but where do they go when they leave, Do they have close alternatives?. Other options may not serve the same purpose as bitcointalk but project team lately dont think they can have that size of investors like in the past. I can deduct this by the renewed approach and reward for social campaign for their projects than for bitcointalk. People are not spending time reading the forum post like before and searching for news, bounty hunter had taken over the forum just posting or rather spamming. merit is still considered as important but other benefits should be attached to the forum and more or higher financial implication should be attached to getting forum membership to control spammers.
It doesn't necessarily mean they have somewhere else to go. Most of those get-rich-quick scheme people could have probably decided to log out of the forum and move on with life having realized that it's not possible as they thought back then when the bull run was crazy.

People are not spending time reading the forum post like before and searching for news
one main reason is the bear market, if you look at google search
you can see that people are gradually losing interest in bitcoin , not so many people want to learn about bitcoin or learn how to mine it or search for the perfect ICO.
I don't have the complete data on the forum visitors, but i am pretty sure if we were to draw a chart it would look descending just like the one above, specially if we would exclude all alt accounts ( bounty hunters with dozens of accounts) and take only human beings into calculation.
but wait for the next bull run and you will see the forum under an unplanned DDoS attack from new comers.
The personal stats were disabled at the end of December 2017, exactly when the last stats were posted on the stats page.
There is so much drama in the forum, it impossible to die. Bitcoin is crawling up to 4k so soon those who lost faith will come back. Next year will be the halving so then the forum will explode ... again

Based on forum stats:
Average online per day: 178.41
Not true at all. The reality actually is after the introduction of the merit system, most spammers and account farmers left.Average online per day: 178.41
This has been coupled with much stricter forum rules lately like negative trusting misbehaving users and also the bear market.
There was an influx of all sorts of people in the forum towards the end of 2017 due to the bull run where the were seeking airdrops, bounties and ICO of which many have since starved off now due to the lengthy bear run.
Stats haven't been updated for a while, and the averages are all-time averages.
Basically, it's wrong.
To give a more accurate example: Yesterday (Dutch time) 17905 posts were created by 6112 users. I might have missed a few users, I failed scraping 13 of those posts, but the result is pretty accurate.
This number doesn't include online users who read but didn't post.

Parts of the stats page seem to be dead since December 2017 so the numbers are probably not accurate. Besides the average might include early days in 2010-2011.
