Why is everyone so excited about PolyWork? First impressions aren't good!

Hi, just wondered what I was missing (as I am sure there is something!).

Just signed up to PolyWork with a VIP code and I just don't get it?

I spent ages scrolling through the never ending list of tags to add to my profile (which had repeated tags all over the place), weird but I get the concept.

Anyway got it all set up and...now what? I added a link to a post (the editor is not great...and you can't add alt descriptions so I had to improvise...so that immediately puts a big nail in the coffin for me anyway) - great, now what?

Headed over to the "multiverse" - nothing really makes me want to follow anyone on there as it is just a list of names, went to "space station"...sure maybe I will contact a couple of investors but yet again it seems very basic and limited.

I have yet to see a feed with articles or anything like that to give me ideas of who I want to follow.

The whole thing is slow and clunky, having to press a couple of times to get pages to load.

So please, what am I missing...is it all marketing hype with the "invite codes" rubbish and the pretty graphics, or do they actually have something special and I am just not getting it (and if that is the case, could someone tell me how I am meant to be using it!).

Thanks in advance.
