I have photo albums from the past filled with prints shot on film of family and friends -- however, my current digital shooting, especially that which is shared online, primarily consists of anything BUT people, for various reasons. For one thing, in today's skittish society, it's not a good idea to just willy-nilly shoot photos of strangers. Aside from that, many people, when they see someone with a camera who actually asks if they can take their photo, will attempt to strike a pose, which looks fake.
Candids of people -- family, friends or acquaintances -- are fun to get but a lot of times the subject isn't as happy with the candid shot as the photographer might be. Sometimes one can get interesting shots of people at a public event, but of course these days public events are only just starting to open back up again.
As for shooting time being worthwhile, I absolutely agree with Molly. Even if I go out and shoot, say 60 - 80 images while walking around the boardwalk and lake, and come home and process only one or two, that was still worthwhile because the camera and I spent some time together seeing something, looking at it and capturing that subject, whether or not in the end the image turned out to be interesting after all to either me or other viewers. It's not about the end product, the image -- that's only part of it for me. It's about the entire experience of recording a brief moment in time, an action of pressing the shutter release because I've seen something that is appealing or interesting, or because I set up a scene to create something different.
