Flags are the biggest problem. Fake people are fake nice to get those sweeet upvotes. After being here for a long time and seeing through all the fake bullshit, I can imagine that this might come off as boring to you and many others.
It is exatly because of this reason that we don't have true and honest engagement here. Or at least not in the numbers we would like to have.
Basically fakeness is boring and we can subconsciously see through the bullshit. In end it comes out as uninteresting.
Not chiseled in stone, just my 2 cents on it.
