I think it's more likely that the aliens just don't care about us. Humans have this really cringe obsession with discovering aliens so we can seek their approval. Maybe they don't have the same need.

It's similar to a Star Trek episode such as

One trait that directly correlates to intelligence across the animal kingdom is curiosity. The reason is it enables learning. Any intelligent species will have it as well.

When you're the apex predator, you can afford to be more curious. That's what the dark forest proposes, is that the civilizations who realize they're probably not the apex predator of the universe and mind their own business. Those that don't, get taken out of they shout too loudly.

One of the reasons I liked Mass Effect was how it handled this concept, most aliens had reached the technology point of finding the relays and the only ones "uplifted" were kind of a mistake.
Is this show any good?

Netflix or CCP version? I dont have netflix and didn't watch it, probably wouldn't enjoy it because I hear it erases a lot of the source material.
On the other hand the CCP version is definitely rough around the edges, but with moments of brilliance.

Netflix I guess, I started it last night but was getting over flu so switched to something lighter before bed

What do you think about the theory that they only started showing up after we dropped the atomic bombs? Like, they saw that and were like oh shit look at what these r-slurs are doing, and they just come to check us out, kinda like we are a giant ant farm.
I think it's entirely possible

I think
that isn't completely true. They have inordinate activity on nuke sites in the modern 
day, but have always been around. I can say more later.
I agree
with Hawking we are fricking 
up.

Maybe but I think that comes more from this pervasive feeling right after ww2 that humans are hot shit now that we have atomic energy. Which turned out to not transform society as much as everyone expected, at least not so far.

Common
opinion 
The average person doesn't care about ants yet there are tens of thousands of human Entomologists
Any alien species capable of space travel would have to be curious about the physical world and that would definitely include humans, regardless of how cringe or based you perceive us monke as being.
