No because backwards time travel is highly unlikely from a current scientific POV.
Which would explain why no one visits the 2010s. Or we end up in a huge war so the period becomes really unpopular in the future.

Maybe we're just not all that interesting

From Fake Science:

I have to admit I don't understand if it's meant serious or as a joke (sorry, but dying people aren't good for my brain for a longer time than I'd like) and thus just want to say that the question if neanderthalensis is an own species or just a subspecies has longer discussions than any O-F thread (including RCT).
Sorry again if that was just a joke.

Don't know about you but I would take a "Grand Tour of World History".
Though that would probably start with the beginning of "history" (so agriculture, writing, villages). Maybe the future society finally able to use a time machine sees another date as the beginning of history that we're quite far from.

2010s tastes in fashion and music are, to say the least, atrocious. Nobody in their right minds would chronoport there. Seriously, I though we had reached rock bottom in 1995 but then the rock broke and we fell into the magma.

In a dystopian POV, the 2010s may be a great era, when the internet still was neutral and chaotic.

It hasn't been "neutral and chaotic" since a long time. The real anarchic times were the first 5 years at most. 10 years later, the genie was already starting to go back into the bottle.

But we're digressing here: we're supposed to be discussing our ancestors' wild sex life.

Reminds me of the time I asked my grandma about the depression era.

I definitely wouldn't visit any modern times and whatever time I visited, I'd try not to stand out

Should you visit any time between 1973 and 1987, you could probably stand out as much as you like with no consequences.:lol:

Ah, another one: that line over there, right besides the glam new-romantic existentialists.

Hmm, standing out:
