I have basically made my living playing online poker for the past few years, I assure you its not rigged. Get a program like pokertracker where you can look at your hands statistically, you will see that your aces don't get cracked as often as you think. The big, reputable sites have pretty amazing ways of detecting collusion.
I think you are mistaken when you assume that bad players will lose their money and leave. I used to play on Party Poker and I kept tons of notes on players, especially since I played mostly $100+ SNGs I would often play against the same players. There was a program called Poker Prophecy that would give you a SNG players stats by datamining the SNG results. I would constantly see players who had played hundreds of sit and gos and were in the red.
That being said.....I still prefer playing live. Its obviously much easier to play the player when you can see them but I think you develop an intuition after playing tons of hands online.....you can read the player by the speed in which they bet, the amount they bet etc.
