Question about the continuous shuffler

I am a new blackjack player in Macau and I find that all casinos in Macau use continuous shuffler in blackjack tables. My question is that whether the Card Counting Strategy is still available when continuous shuffler is used? if it is not, then all we can count on are the Blackjack Strategy and good luck?

While there are advanced techniques, the simple answer is no, you can not count cards on a continuous shuffler because the cards get re-entered in to the shoe continuously, meaning counting them does nothing.

These games result in more hands per hour, which in a negative game isn't good. Take an extra bathroom break every hour or so.

Yeah but people are there to play (excuses used by 6:5 players), not watch the dealers shuffle.
