Why are all the Groups on HF Identical?

I'm just looking at some group recruitment threads and every group is literally the same as the last. "A group of smart individuals that consist of marketers, programmers, or gamers that strive to bring quality content to Hack Forums."

It's the same everytime. Isn't there any originality anymore with these groups? What's the true purpose of them? Seems like there is none, but maybe I'm missing something.
Climb a mountain. Tell no one.

Literally a meme group. But it's kind of sad to see new groups compared to old hf groups.

Yeah it really is.

Did I really just read morse code as the description of a few groups on the groups page? That's hilariously pathetic haha

Don't wanna sound like a hipster but old groups actually had a purpose and the members in the group actually all communicated often outside of HF. Just more unique in general. Kinda sad to see

There is honestly not much of a difference. Then again I joined in 2012.

Although groups used to be more serious about their niches. Most groups are just lounge groups these days but I'm fine with that. Its good fun.
Honestly, I'd rather have ten lounge groups than a single Nex+-owned group. Being serious about their niche = exclusivity, which leads to monetization, and that isn't what a group should be about.
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.
Where is the group recruitment section?
I think I'm blind.

Ya but groups cost money so they have to make money
hence monetization or dare i say it buy-ins
The three things you lost are 90% of HF users so most groups are going to be based around that

Probably nothing. Old gens like to pretend everything was so much better 5 years then have no actually reasons as to why they think that
