Interests - that's what unites people, and various thematic groups in this social network give people a chance to find someone with the same hobbies as they do.
By the way, if you believe statistics, people oftenchange the type of communities. For example, the question of how to close the group "VKontakte" is of interest to users quite often. Well, let's start to analyze the communities.
