Those people will never play any community server.
But there is a key set of players in the CS:GO community that is currently disenfranchised. These are the players that migrated over from CS 1.6 (or CS:CZ) when those communities died. They don't want weird mods, or they would have been playing Source a long time ago. They don't want to play in an anonymous Valve server. They're the type of people who spent years of their lives playing only in Lobby of Laugher, Clandestine Uprising, NcB, Brass Monkey Militia, MEAN. They played those servers every day at the same time, knew all the admins, knew all the regulars. They cared about how much fps a server ran, and refused to switch to Source because it just didn't run as well. These people currently have nowhere to play.
The reason they have nowhere to play is because of !ws plugins. For every one community pub server, there 30 pub servers that only exist to generate ad revenue off of afk people sitting in spawn looking through a !ws menu. These servers are immensely successful at generating that ad revenue. They generally have 6-8 people in them at all times. If you go into one of those servers, you'll see 6-8 people at 0:20, and 2-4 person at 10:0 who is about to leave the first time an ad is played. Those 2-4 people are members of the set of players I just mentioned above. They hop from one pub to the next, trying to find one where people are actually playing the game, where a community actually exists around the server, but constantly missing each other like a scene from a bad RomCom. These people are constantly missing each other because the community is currently flooded with servers that only exist to generate ad revenue.

Very good post! You take it to the point.
Valve actually f** these kind of people by doing nothing! I think they just care for esports. But these are the as well people who would by some skins, who bring money into the game. i can't understand the inactivety...
This might finally lead to a dying game...
