I think this is a good statement of the problem from Qralloq and RuneKyndig's interview.
I wrote about my first experience with GP back in Oct 19. I clicked to join a random game too when I first arrived here.
What to do?
1. The first thing I'd propose is changing the labels.
"Close game" sounds like it'll shut down the game. I never clicked it because I thought it would end the game (i.e. close it down).
I'm open to suggestions on label names ("advertising for players"/ "stop advertising for players"?).
2. Add a "how to join" section to games.
3. Maybe pretty the game page up a bit - but that's a bigger conversation.
4. We might need to remind DMs if they're currently recruiting for games too.
