That's a huge part of it. The full-time professional base has shrunk dramatically, and the people still grinding daily in this industry are too busy actually working to look at GFY.
Twenty years ago, you had thousands of full-time affiliates, webmasters, and content producers who lived and breathed this business. The forums were their primary professional network, so active participation was part of the job. Now, most of those people either retired, pivoted to mainstream, or got absorbed into the OnlyFans/creator economy, where forums aren't relevant to their business model.
The ones still here full-time are often managing operations at a scale where detailed public posting about strategies doesn't make business sense. Why give away competitive advantages? The serious operators are working in private channels and one-on-one relationships, not broadcasting tactics on public forums.
I'm old enough to have built businesses during the GFY golden era, and I still see value in showing up and contributing because relationships matter and visibility has long-term ROI. But I completely understand why most full-timers today don't prioritize forum engagement; their time generates better returns elsewhere.
It's not that people don't care about show coverage. It's that the people who would write it are either retired from active business or too busy scaling their operations to document the experience publicly.
Different era, different economics, different priorities.
