Perhaps it's simply to do with your own experience level?

When you are an SPL, or a new PPL (or simply new to any particular type of flying) you can some here and see a vast array of knowledge. That knowledge is enticing, and interesting, and you will find those discussions infomative and 'quality'.

As you get more experienced, you start to realise that what you thougth was knowledge and experience isn't always so, and accordingly your perception will tell you that the amount of 'quality' has decreased. But in actual fact all that has happened is that you are better able to recognise the quality from the ill informed.

Also what is interesting to you first time around, can get old and boring when you've seen the same discussion a number of times over. It might have been an interesting and quality discussion to you first time, yet to those who were old hands then it would have seems boring and drivel.

Experience can change perception significiantly.
