Default OT: (slightly) Who loses all the money?

I have been playing (micro stakes) SNG/STT now for a month or so, and can't help but notice the following:

.) Everyone claims to be a winning player
.) Most sites collect min 10% fee (ex: 1$ +10c)- 10% drain on the "system"
.) Lots of players play very loose + Calling Stations...

So who and where are all the losers?
(I can't see how rakebacks and freerolls make a huge difference in the 10% drain)

I started playing only SNG's at the beginning of April.

I'm down about 6 buy-ins and haven't taken a 1st yet, lots of 2nd's and 3rd's.

I don't claim to be a winning player, but I hope I can someday in the future.

Most losing players probably don't post here.

This has been done to death. At least 95% of regular players are losers long-term (time period >6 months). Who knows why, how, or where the money comes from. They want to step up and try to take my money, that's their decision.

Look in pokertracker databases and see for yourself where the money comes from. Basically a lot of people suck at poker and think they are good. I also think 95% is way to high of a number for losing players.

People lie about their winnings. Nobody wants to say they play poker all the time and are a losing player.
