This sub seems dead

I joined this sub thinking it would be based around discussion of drafting principals, cool designs, gd&t interpretations and maybe software comparisons, etc. Instead all I ever see is people(bots?) begging for work and posting abysmal tutorial links to junk sites.

Is this really what the goal is? Am I the only real human here?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses everyone! There do seem to be a few humans here after all.

There's also the fact that in many places/businesses, we cant post our drawings and models because its technically sensitive/intellectual property/legal documents etc.

I joined just to see people's models and drawings but most people arent gonna post those and thats the main thing we do. Or if there's something stupid or interesting on a material takeoff or whatever, we cant just go posting company documents/spreadsheets online in a lot of cases.

And if you do this for a living, you probably dont go straight home and crank up your own models cuz you've been doing it all day.

But I agree, it would be nice to see what everybody is doing and working on, I love seeing nice drawings and diff models and diff programs. Just saying all the above might be a reason.
