Same, a number of times I've thought about posting a thread that I'm pretty confident is unique enough to not be a duplicate but figured the likely reaction would be a telling off in some form, so just easiest not to. This isn't so much a community any more as it is a review exchange site.
I'm also seeing the same WGs on rotation atm, with costs going up, I'm less inclined to risk wasting £££s on a new WG the way I used to.
On the first subject, you are overthinking it, if you think it is off interest go for it, no community if everyone thinks the same as you

.
What is the worst that can happen? Some people you do not know taking the piss and having a moan

On the second subject I do not blame you, we are all in that boat, still fun to risk a few quid on a change now and then, I recently tried one recommended whose profile, size, fake tits and obvious routine had no appeal whatsoever, suggested a different scenario and had a ball.
Can only ask, they can only say no, or yes in this case, sometimes you got to think outside the box
