There's also a lot of bad advice out there. So even if you find some good advice, it won't help you because you can't pick it out of the bad advice.

Which is why it makes sense to seek good advice on sites that have better signal-to-noise ratio.

For me this is one important aspect of LW. I can get good advice almost anywhere. But in most of those places I can also get bad advice with high probability. -- On LW I trust people to self-censor before saying something stupid (as opposed to enjoying a happy death spiral), and even if they fail, I trust other people to correct them. It does not work perfectly, but it's better than not even trying.
