I think that's a bit simplistic. Most LTHs ( including myself ) from those I have heard post here, are sitting tight until they at least break even. So many people don't understand the concept of 'a paper loss .' A loss becomes real only when you actually hit the button and craysalise a loss.
And in each of my 5 years of holding I have ( admittedly briefly ) been in profit in all of those years - including even the covid year when it still went from 2.5p to 4.8p at its peak. Again - a paper loss is a paper loss, just as a paper profit is a paper profit.
Mind you, I can understand the resentment of LTHs who might have an average of say 4 to 7p which they have been holding for years. At the end of the day, what we LTHs put in helped keep the company survive during the really lean times. Right now though they tend to get rewarded with holding what is hopefully a temporary large paper loss, whilst hearing relative newcomers on here bragging that they have an average of say 1.5 to 2p.
