I can only speak for me. I was banned from a blackjack site because, like you, I felt the majority of posts were bullshit and said so. Turns out I'm more right than wrong because all the bull shitters are now gone. The "legions" of posters was probably 3 to 5 guys with 5 to 7 sock puppets.
I don't have all the information I need or the knowledge to set up my own computer programming for blackjack and run my own simulations. So I have to improve my game the old fashion way, by WORK and playing it out. Now, I don't know about you, but when I read blackjack bullshit, I have to write it out. Otherwise, it lingers in my head...and I don't want that shit in my head when I'm playing. So my threads are a combination of two things. 1.) notes to myself. 2.) a hope to find more to this than just endless bullshit regarding blackjack. Going to another blackjack site? It's pretty much the same people saying the same shit only under a different name.
Years ago, I was learning to water ski. I'm an athlete, so I was getting mad as hell because I couldn't get up on the ski's. Man, did I take some tumbles. Then, someone hollered from the boat to "tuck my toes." That one little thing and I was up and skiing. The rest was very easy.
My study should be completed by the end of the Holiday season because I have time to devote to it. Then, my toes will be tucked and I'll simply fade away. In short, the entire process, all the books that were written back in the 70's and 80's were predicated on the dealer busting. However, the dealer doesn't move a until I tuck. Thus the WORK and isolation.
