Why is GTA Online empty?

GTA Online can feel empty due to its flawed matchmaking, which often puts players in isolated sessions, network issues (like high NAT Type or packet loss) that prevent connections, and players using "solo public lobbies" to run businesses without interference, making it seem less populated than it is. The game's session allocation system also sometimes places users randomly in empty instances instead of full ones.
