Which is more likely, would you say, that your rating is 842 because that's how skilled you are or because you hit a 'wall' of cheating opponents? If the latter, why don't other players hit that same wall? Are they all cheating? When high rated players do a speed run, they can reach expert level in a matter of hours. How do you explain that? Why can't you reach, say, 1200 or 1500 or whatever it is you feel you actually deserve?

Influencers and YouTube can gussy it up but the facts remain, you gain any momentum in the 800-1200 range then you magically hit a wall of people playing 1700 elo from your range.

Boris no like chess.com because no manly men to play. Only men with blue hair and nose ring. Boris like to eat blood sausage and drink beer, but only here find man who is vegan and drink camomile tea.
that was directed at the OP's, "chess.com sucks", i assume
Yes, it was a joke referencing the title. I didn't specify, I just assumed it was understood.
I actually think the site slows and speeds up timer based on players. It has happened to me a million times and that's why I wouldn't pay a penny to this site. It's just another money making scheme, but it's good enough for when you are bored.
Remember, this site is a money making site and they would do anything to keep the people.
I didn't just say this. I used to be a team lead for a QA that tested hardware and it's pretty obvious that they play with the timer. Have ever been surprised why the game took so little time and you lost? It's because your timer was messed with. Don't get me wrong, they do it to everyone.

That's far fetched enough to be laughable. But hey, screen recorders are cheap, some free. Astonish us.

#161, this is not true. A blatant lie because you’re salty from how slow you are. Chess.com does not mess with the timer, you, nor any of the other whiners who claim this, have any evidence to show this is true- only “it’s so obvious”

There are times when the timer stalls or goes too fast, but it also corrects itself by doing the reciprocal for the same amount of time and at the same rate. So while it glitches, it doesn't affect your time because after the correction it is back to normal.

Sure. The timer is on the server, and there's no such thing as a zero lag internet connection... so, if you have a weak signal, for whatever reason, your device will show the timer stop or stall. It's a bug though (and weird, if you think about it) if it ever runs too fast, except to catch up from a delay.
Everyone now uses engines
I dont
It's nonsense, of course, but also sounds like a confession.
