WOW! Sometimes the answer is too easy.
The ratings seem to mean nothing on this website. It can be nerve-racking thinking that you are playing worse, when you are playing about the same as usual, objectively.

Yes, losing games against players rated in to low 1200s that had 1500+ ratings in November/December.

Agreed. I get a little depressed by getting wrecked by someone who is in the high 1400's (because I tend to split games with 1600's), only to find that those 1400's have fallen from the 1600's, 1700's, and 1800's. It's really absurd. I can only speculat that this is the result of influxes of new chess.com accounts, baecause everyone starts at 1200. They need to do a provisional rating for those people. If they ice 10 consecutive 1600's, maybe they shouldn't be only in the 1300's, up from 1200. It's silly.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed a big downwards or upwards trend in the ratings on this site. My rating seems to fluctuate between 1200 and 1400 over a couple of weeks which seems like a lot. I don't think I'm playing that much differently aside from the occasional blunder....
