Studying should help improve. There are resources on the site that can help with that study, such as videos. Whether or not that will really help you improve, mostly depends on you and how much you use the resources.
Will Chess.com's membership really help me improve my game?

Whatever the problem is, throw money at it.
Videos are woth it is if you're an insomniac, they put me right to sleep. There are endless places to study chess, if you like chess.com, then throw some money at it, otherwise there are a lot of other options.
Yes, I think it helps especially with the videos and stuff like that. But then again there were many people who got good at chess before chess.com even existed (chess.com started at around 2007). Alltogether it's your choice but personally I am quite happy with the membership (especially because of the unlimited tactical puzzles which helped me deliver knockouts in strong tournaments).
From many days I am pondering on becoming a member. But I am skeptical whether the money is worth it and gonna make a real impact on my game. I am 1723 FIDE rated player and 1653 on chess.com in Standard format.
I want to know from real people who made significant or atleast noticable progress by becoming a paid member. And also, I want to know how and what did the membership help? I mean is it the videos that help? or the tactics? or something else?
PS: The diamond membership gives to access to unlimited videos. Wouldnt people game the system by becoming a member for a month and downloading ALL videos in one go?
