It's Valve's fault for setting up all these blasted quick play servers. I can put money on the fact that if Valve would shut down at least half of their servers, there would be less complaints about people and their servers being empty all the time.

You won't see it if you rent a server. To the people asking ''why?' - The massive spike of players that we got when TF2 went f2p is over now. People who want to play it more still are, others aren't playing it anymore. We have less overall players again.
