GFY doesn't offer any value mostly because of what I said above. The most active posters here have no idea what the current market is like (despite what they themselves are willing to admit), some were never anything other than a rep anyway, and the rest are beer money guys. And because of that, a lot of us won't share anything just to have some dip shit who's been a has been for the past decade and is more interested in running their mouth rather than contributing in a positive way.
GFY may get the fly by from guys like Shap once every 6 months with some interesting insight or whatever, but outside of that, it's guys blaming tubes for their own shortcomings and other horse shit.
There are Discords, Slacks, other forums, FB groups, Twitter group messages, Telegram groups, sub-reddits, etc., with actual value offered - especially for someone newer to the game.
And without value, any new users who are serious will leave quickly or never come. I don't know of anyone with any real sites / networks / programs who view GFY as anything other than a cesspool, and it's been like for a decade.

This sums it up really well. Most of us who want to help usually end up being drowned out by Paul Markham type posters. For the new people coming into the industry, it's hard to tell the difference between actual webmasters and the trolls.
