that's how all forums are. For example I frequent r/quant and the vast majority of people aren't quants and instead high school students asking how to become a quant. it's pretty annoying

If someone made a reddit like site where you had to prove qualifications to get into certain forums, I think it would have the potential to do really well.

And you can take this pattern even further back than Reddit. This is no different than the early 90s when everyone hung out in #warez on EFnet, even though very few people were actually involved in the warez scene. That being said, there were always a few true stars lurking in there. I got recruited from there to join private servers as a cracker in serious warez groups of the day. My point is, the social internet hasn't changed in 30 years and we shouldn't be surprised :)

Can't tell if this is a joke

If not, already cursed by its name unfortunately.
