Why all the clutter?
So, I wanted to see if I could find any material on special relativity. I went over to the workshop, where I noticed that

1. there is NO categorisation/tagging whatsoever (eg something like "Physics"). Just "StudyFile" (which is useless in a search).

So I used Steam's stupid search for [relativity], which brought up everything that had any of the words "related", "relation", "relationship", etc in either the title or the description... which is to say, a LOT of junk. However, I did find one multiple-choice quiz on the subject, which had been posted by someone who seems to be either one of or working with the devs. I opened it to find out that

2. the questions' formulation was so far off from anything resembling English grammar and syntax that there was no way I could make sense of them. It was like some algorithm used some sort of RNG to pick arbitrary words about a notion and put them together.

Disappointed, I unsubscribed from the quiz and voted it down. Then I decided to just browse and see what subjects are available. I couldn't help but notice that 21964 out of 23229 available study files had been posted by only three accounts, all of which seem affiliated with the creators. That would not be a bad thing in general, but the sheer volume of these uploads suggests that they were hastily posted, with no attention to quality (just like the one I downvoted). Also,

3. most of the subject matter is on really fringe or uninteresting knowledge.

And my question is... WHY? Why clutter up the workshop with low-quality study material, and mostly on subjects that people are unlikely to be studying in the first place? Why the complete lack of search aids like keywords (other than the omnipresent "StudyFile")? How am I expected to use this software if I can't easily find material on a specific subject, and if everything created by fellow students gets lost in the ocean of bogus study files created by you guys? Indeed, why would I bother creating one myself, if other people can't find it?

Why even create these accounts in the first place? This seems extremely counterproductive. I would just post stuff that I know, devote decent time to each study file, and only put a few examples up.

Just saying.
