I was stuck at 400 rapid and 200 blitz until I learn the King’s Indian. It’s easy to understand and can play with both black and white. Now I’m 900 rapid and 700 blitz.
Play scavanidan

Stop playing online. Play humans instead.

No, each human has own pre-defined almost fixed level of chess. Once you learn the rules and tactics and strategies and openings, you can improve but not too much. 200 Elo Blitz is level at which majority of humans will stay. To get really good at chess you need to start at very-very early age, like 5, 6 at most. Because only at that age your brain is flexible enough to embrace this game fully. By flexbility I mean physical process of neuron rebuilding, this is not an abstract concept, not just "thought process", no, it's a transformation on a material level. If you're an adult, it is too late. I am sorry.

This isn't true 
there is almost no one at the world who will be forever stuck at 200 elo if they apply themselves to learning chess.

This is total nonsense you're probably telling yourself to cope with your lack of improvement. It's literally trivial to debunk as people have studied this. Players improve. The fact is chess takes years of study and hard work that most people aren't willing to put in, but is immediately "fun" so they take the short road, or else get deranged... what you put in is what you get out. Yes you'll cap out at some point, but that point isn't where you start. (At the 200-500 range on CC however, outcomes are completely decorrelated with skill, however, if you happen to have a bit set in the database. See my previous comment about playing real humans.)
Adult starters can improve but only a little, there's a hard limit, like it or not, you can see a lot of examples here and even among titled players. Has nothing to do with me. Purely physiological limitation.

Not only is this patent nonsense, but it's patent nonsense almost /by definition/ when you are using rating as the measure (as you are). Because: your rating also depends on the skill level of your opponents, which is clearly not part of your "physiology". If that's too pedantic for you, here's another stupid-simple "proof": do you know every opening line you see in play cold? Every tactical pattern you see in a game? If not, are you completely unable to read, study and/or memorize new facts because of your age? If not, learning just one will in fact improve your play. QED. So /quit whining pathetically, demotivating others, and go crack a chess book/. Or not, but definitely the "quit whining pathetically and demotivating others" part.
What tips and tricks have you got better? (youtube videos are also welcomed!)
