I can easily imagine that some of the most “advanced” rationalists here might not be getting as much useful information out of LW, and so they might see it as a low-ROI site.
But the average LW reader probably isn’t so “advanced” (might not have been familiar with a lot of the concepts taught here before reading LW), and so the ROI can be much higher.
Update: In fact, one of the main benefits of LW might be to transfer some of that knowledge from the more advanced rationalists to the beginners.
I don’t think you are very atypical.
