Younguru, overall in theory, they are better players, better fields then back in the golden age boom of online poker. Today they study more, have, use solvers, Pokertracker, Huds, etc, more, get coached more, etc.
But the reason the games are still beatable at the micros, lower stakes, mid stakes, and even between mid stakes and semi high stakes, is that 1. They have informational overload, study too much. 2. They are not going to the more right, best sources. 3. They are not correctly applying what they have read, seen, been coached, etc. 4. They do not have enough discipline, patience. 5. They too easily get tilted. 6. They play while tilted too often. 7. They do not have good bankroll management and good chip stack management.
A semi bad, below average semi fish, semi Donk player that does not have enough patience, discipline, that has poor bankroll management, and chip stack management, that gets tilted easily, plays while tilted too much, does not understand, or correctly apply good poker study material, such players when they get coached by a good coach, and studies good poker material, etc, often stay, remain, bad players, even tho they know more, are better informed, use solvers, Huds, etc.
And they are do just barely good enough at the lower stakes that when they move up, while they don’t get crushed, they still are losing players over the long term when they move up stakes.
And thats why it’s still profitable, can be profitable for semi good, to good, to semi great players to do well, in online poker.
Even slightly above average regs, semi regs, semi winning semi recreational players can be profitable at the micros, lower stakes, etc.
Pokerstars is probably a poker client you want to avoid Younguru, unless except at micro stakes, as Pokerstars is ABSOLUTELY FILLED with Sharks, great players, semi pros, etc, once you get to, between low to semi mid stakes or higher.
Bad players, fish, Donks, Whales, losing Recreational players, etc, sjould probably avoid most online poker sites, except maybe Ignition Poker, as that site is extremely SOFT.
