I am trying to give suggestions to build the site... but just in case I am calling it out and not giving any excuse to ban me (because free speech by itself is not a bannable offense)

Yes, the site continues to grow, but that's only because people leave at a slower rate than newer people join. in a few years I estimate that chess.com's growth will have stopped. But, it's just my opinion. Also, it's not just about people leaving the site. 'Leaving' usually means keeping the account active but not using it, so if we take that in to consideration then we see that chess.com is, actually, shrinking, inch by inch. Not to mention that the fair play team is completely messed up (0.2% appeals granted??!!) The point is, chess.com, like all sites, has some not-so-desirable traits, but the chance to fix it must be considered. Leave some features exclusive for premium members, but allow non-payers to enjoy chess as well.
I'm not sure how you can claim that the site is losing members at any rate that would mean that in a few years that growth will stop. The site continues to update, add features, fix bugs, and everything I've seen indicates it's growing and will likely continue to grow.
There are a lot of features that are available to basic members but the site has a lot of staff and costs associated with running the site. That is handled mostly by premium memberships.

I agree- there is no way to measure the loss of members. But that is my physical estimation. The reason is mainly because chess.com needs to offer more puzzles. Other features optional, but one thing the whole community can agree on is puzzles (second game review) this will in fact make more people want to stay on the site, and in future maybe buy premium. What I am saying is this is a suggestion that will help chess.com grow.
However, I get that chess.com needs money. But giving back a little won't make the site go bankrupt.
use lichess
I don't like lichess cuz there is no rating match up so you could be playing a baby noob or magnus Carlson
the ratings are just higher that's all. you can still properly evaluate your opponent's rating.
