Firstly thread isn't an indicator of /vrg/, instead watch a long/unedited recording of an event or meetup. It's a bunch of autistic men (who look like anime girls) talking about the kind of things all autistic men like to talk about,especially the kind of stuff you'd talk about on this fingerpainting forum. Often while drunk, sometimes while gay.

The "popularity contest" problem is a result of NA hours containing literally more than 100 active players, well past the limits of a normal friend circle unless /vrg/ is your entire social life. Sure even on the weekend it might only be 50 people online at once, but that's still too many to be practical and it means a newcomer has to fight for attention to get remembered or even noticed. It's also why vrg as a whole has splintered into subgroups/clouds, but if you're a newfriend from the thread you're not gonna know what they are.

The solution to this has come from inside /vrg/, but nobody has proposed one. Blame the leaderfags, but they also have no incentive to do anything about it, since all the people having problems are outside and not reaching them.

There's room for you in the smaller clouds, but without first learning where/when you are and what are your interests and goals in vrchat we can't even direct you to the right subgroup. Someone at a main meetup could do it but that still puts the onus on you to penetrate the big group and find someone who wants to lead you to a smaller one with people who still have free friendspace in their brains.

Best thing you can do right now is make a post describing yourself or at least describing what you want out of vrchat. There's a good chance someone interested will namedrop and/of friend you and you can go from there.
