(thoughts on exchange culture from my just-woke-up brain!)
Generally speaking, people don't talk about what they're offering? This is mostly because it runs the risk of breaking anonymity if someone happens across you mentioning that you're offering X fandom, especially if there's only one or two other people who offer it. Not talking about what you offer helps add a screen of plausible deniability, at least.
(I've had various conversations with folk about like "Yeah I tend to request and offer the same things" or "I like mixing it up so that I don't request/offer the same things", and when you do exchanges a lot people end up with a pretty solid sense of "Oh, Y is almost certainly offering Z, I know they do that all the time.")
