does position matter as much in online poker as it does live?

so i’ve been grinding live tables for years and position is basically gospel there, no doubt. people play way tighter from early spots, everyone’s watching for the usual stuff like 3-bets from the button, all that. but online just feels so different to me, with the constant multi-tabling, snap decisions, and way looser action especially at micro and low stakes. i see players just going wild from all positions, shoving junk or calling with anything, which totally messes with normal reads.

i’m kinda torn whether i should still be weighing position as heavily online, or if the sheer chaos and speed actually flattens things out a bit. maybe online regs are still working the old school advantages but it seems way less consistent than live. i’m not saying to ignore position, but wondering if folks adjust the way they value it after getting used to online play.
