A very integral part of 8kun/chan culture is its built-in barrier for entry. The sites aren't very intuitive or user-friendly, so when combined with a culture steeped in inside terminology and brash language and ideas, you weed out the newfags and normies. Those who remain are often more intelligent than average, including some autistic/savant level abilities to think and research.

I've tried to navigate the chans and I can't seem to get the hang of it. I consider myself to be a somewhat intelligent person, but I find the user experience of a Reddit-like site such as WIN suits me best. I'm a passive absorber of the proofs, connections, and digs, and try to foster conversation in the comments to hopefully encourage an unbiased examination of the evidence.
