About 9 months at that consistent dose. Before then I just used grassfed butter, assuming I was getting enough through that. But I was probably deficient. I also experimented with natto a couple times but it tasted like crap and has way too many bad fats in it. I tried Throne's product first, then I switched to Kuinone. I would give them both a thumbs up personally. Many K2 supplements on the market is filled with cheap crap.
Why would you assume that everyone joining the forum has health complications? I mean, I just joined to meet more like minded folk. I find your logic of reasoning here to be extremely backwards. People are less likely to leave if they're experiencing positive results, lol. The people that leave, more often then not, many of them probably gave up. Not because they corrected there issues. Or maybe life just got too busy for them and it had nothing to do with their health at all. You're being highly speculative and making bold assumptions.
Additionally, not everything mentioned here directly comes from the mouth of Ray Peat himself. For example, Ray has never given general guidelines to everyone for macro ratios. In fact Ray is constantly reminding people things are highly contextualized to different individuals. In a clip on YT he mentioned "most people" (which is just a ballpark estimate) will probably do fine with about 200-250 grams of carbohydrate. This is hardly a "extreme high sugar diet" you mention.
The main point to Ray's work in this regard is to suppress FAO, which can be induced by diet, but also (and perhaps more importantly) induced by stress hormones. You can eat a low-fat diet and still be in a high state of fatty acid oxidation by hormonal imbalances.
How much vitamin k do you think is in butter? Self nutrition says there is 15mcg per 227g. Nowhere near the supplement doses you talk about. Were you eating kilograms of butter a day? I also wouldnt personally call 9 months "a real long time."

If all the healthy people stay, where are they all? A quick browse of the forum shows either unhealthy people or people with a personal stake in being here I.e a business or blog, which is fine of course, but you should pay attention to how many healthy people are in a particular community.
Straw man argument. I never said Ray Peat pushed the extreme high sugar diet. I simply said the people that left the forum arent following the extreme high sugar diets, which I still believe to be true.
Ray has also absolutely presented a dietary template over the years.
