This app is quiet with not many participants

Do you have to be a pay member in order to see what Joseph keeps saying in his YouTube videos about this app? That is, all the “thousands of success stories”, “thousands of subscribers”, “thousands of discussions and people are engaging actively and learning from each other”, “free this and that” etc etc….. cuz I’m not seeing any of these at all. The discussion forum is quiet and no one is actually engaging. And perhaps once every two months you see a new post.
