Aether isn't widely known. Maybe you have anti virus software which doesn't know Aether and tries to block its installation. Aether connects to the internet, a bit like your browser or a teleconference application, so that might be being blocked by a firewall, though it does well most of the time. When you launch Aether, it takes a while to sync with the consensus, but after a minute or a few minutes, it is up to date. Check the lghts on it, do they turn green? Did you download a recent version? Keep trying, its worth it! :)
Haha! Yes, that is the first impression most people have. One reason is that it is very siloed. People really nerd out putting content into their own subverse, so you need to sub to a lot of subverses to find the new content. Also, content posted onto Aether, at the moment anyway, is less traffic and higher quality. Also the actively posting community there is smaller, more lurkers, though it has been going a good while.
