Team Fortress 2 now

Playing team fortress 2 now is weird. All the good community servers are either full to where you have to wait to get in unless you get on super early, or completely dead. Casual is unplayable because of the bots, even though valve HAS been making good strides in combatting the bot crisis, and the community has some weird people in it (but, that's a given for most online communities.) any other tf2 players here have thoughts on this?
