I can't really blame them, though.
Modern Power-Users are accustomed to mediums where quantity is inherently superior to quality, as there is almost an inevitability in original or interesting content once you have enough idle minds interacting together. While I like Tohno-chan, I also do not expect it to change in a radical manner anytime soon.
The "Web 2.0" is largely based on taking this spontaneity and streamlining it for the end user through home-grown communities, rather than through the search-engine or explicit advertisement. Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr are probably the most direct examples, while services like Facebook work at the more local and personal level, with more acute tools.
Once you get used to this, its really hard to break the addictive collection of new information. I still read the New York Times in print, and I always feel like I actually get a good summation of a few dozen choice events, while the 24-hour News channels or /r/news will give you an emotionally driven argument for nearly anything which riles people up.
Back on topic, I remember the what.cd forums were pretty interesting for discussion, though it is behind a membership wall and is dominated by pseudo-intellectuals. Pseudo-intellectualism is not really a bad thing if people still back up what they say with citations and precedents, but the tone of the users was often condescending.
