Are players coerced to subscribe by having to face competition above listed rating?
I have no clue what you are even trying to say.

Do you think it is possible that non-subscribers could be assigned intentionally unfairly rated competition in the form of bots to make them loose interest and either quit playing or subscribe?
Site totally flipped on me. Ratings are manipulated. If your are not a subscriber they can be merciless.
I rest my case.
Yes sir. Took almost 400 points off my ratings.
There is no difference in rating between members and nonmembers. They would gain nothing from that. They do not send bots to fight them lol.
They would discourage nonmembers. Therefore more revenue per visit.
Playing a mistake free opponent 10 to 20 matches in a row tends to get suspicious.

I don't think it's that, if you are saying that chess.com bots are attacking nonmembers I really think that's nonsense, I just think It's because members have more access to tutorials on how to play the game and in general are better.
I think at the least the algorithm gets stuck and assigns opponents in an inconsistent manner. If there are malicious janitors I do think I've encountered one.

actually, chess.com gets more from ad revenue than gold memberships
So they didn't like my ad blocker. They switched me over to google ads at the same time they started the tougher opponents. New algorithm. Got it.
And one point I have not made which is is worthy of note is that the competition on a USA EST weekday morning is so much worse than on a weekend. I need to play weekdays to build my rating back up. But I stand my my contention that something happened when google ads kicked in. From my point of view the nature of the competition did change.
Are corporate bots assigned to defeat non-subscribers?
