Interesting and good are subjective. They could also find great meaning in the small focuses that you think adds little value or in the philosophy of language. There is an enormous amount of work being done across topics and with different issue areas out there, perhaps you just haven’t found the modern work that strikes you and that you find significant yet. It may be helpful to engage more with this material you think is wrong or pointless - there may be something your missing about it or you could develop your own counter theories by writing out what you think is wrong about them. If you don’t see contemporary philosophy that strikes you, start writing out your own ideas and then find if anyone out there has similar conclusions.
