1100 blitz is loaded with engine users...

Way to many sand baggers, smurfs, cheats here. How anyone thinks the sub fee is worth it is amazing.

There's no way anyone can get stuck at 1100 using a chess engine. Not even in rapid are there enough cheaters to cause you to stagnate in any rating by playing against cheaters.

In my experience, it's normal to encounter cheaters when you reach 2100 in rapid, but they're not enough to slow your rise. The only way to stagnate at a certain rating is if that's your level or if you're playing at a level that exceeds your mental and physical stamina. If you truly believe you're stronger than your current rating, don't play when you're tired, hungry, thirsty, or in a noisy environment.

If you want to achieve a higher rating, consider improving your chess level. Also, consider your physical health, as this could be a major hindrance when trying to improve. Do some research on what nutrition is best for improving and maintaining better mental health and better utilizing your mental abilities. If you want to improve yourself, you can share your current training here and/or ask for advice on how to train.
If you prefer, find a coach. If you do, I recommend reading endgame books at the same time. When endgame books aren't enough, it's a good idea to consider an endgame coach (at a very high level). Consider your available time for chess training; don't sacrifice your sleep. If you don't have much time for physical activity, try routines that last 15 to 5 minutes; squats and push-ups may be sufficient

I have personaly been messaged by this site saying they removed cheaters who I have played against in the 700 to 900 blitz... It happens. I think they use it to stay were their at so half the time they can try to play to see if they can get to whatever elo...

In fact, if what you say were true, that they only cheat to maintain a rating of 1100, that would, in that case, reduce the number of possible cheats to slow the rise of those who play fair. Honestly, it's not worth worrying about maintaining a rating of 1100, so cheaters wouldn't even gain anything to feed their pride. The reality is that while it's true that in chess there are differences at each rating (although they're difficult to notice for someone above a certain level), before 1500 it's practically the same: a lot of players don't have the understanding of the game to achieve games that are both strategically and tactically coherent. Between 2000 and 2100, there are still players who rely more on abusing fast play, winning games on time but with losing positions (in blitz, this continues to happen even at a rating of 2400, from what I've seen when looking at the databases of certain players who boast of being better than they really are). Stop worrying about your rating and focus on playing your best. If you want a higher rating, take my advice into account, and I suggest you avoid the excuse-making mentality. Accept that it's not easy to play good chess, and it's much harder than you might think.

Stop worrying about cheaters. It affects you psychologically, and you can lose thinking you're playing against a cheater when, in most cases, you're not. In fact, you shouldn't care at all about playing against cheaters; they're the ones who aren't learning anything. Play your best and learn from your games. That way, you can make progress, regardless of whether your opponent is human or machine.

By the way, it's possible that the players who surprise you with their strength are players who lost several games against players who simply played too fast (or lost to players who were relegated by playing against players who lost too fast, or a series of these to some extent). If you play against players who are having bad runs, it's very likely that they'll play much better than you; if you play slower than them, it's very likely that you'll feel that they are stronger than they really are; if you play very tired, it's totally normal for you to feel that they are stronger than they really are; if your opponents play more focused and in more optimal conditions, you will feel that they are stronger because they will actually be playing at their best level. There are many reasons why you will feel that a game is harder than you might expect, so consider these games as part of the normality within the more difficult part of that rating.

Fun fact: the OP is 900 blitz.

Bye?

Not to parade you around like a mythical golden donkey... But you all just lay it on TOO thick. 
TOO sure of your individual measly knowledge of the game; speaking in broadly applicable absolutes.... Too often to be one of the top, first viewed comments, in direct context to any sorts of discussions involving fair play suspicions.... I don't even think yall are "opps" or any goofy ish like that. You're just programmed by personal experience, that you personally don't have 10+ games of DOGWALK DISGUSTING downright disrespectful defeats.... RIGHT after going on a 23 for 10 win streak....
You are consistent. That's safe. We(those whom the "engine"/s use as AI-training-guinea pig are high-risk high reward. You have not flagged any of the protocols that could result in your subsequently being paired up with "higher risk" players, because you have probably never had a +30% performance boost that starts and ends... when it wants to. Quite literally mid-game if the opponents edge-stall me and i've been staring at the board without resting my eyes. 
Those moves and the accuracy swings, and even the time goofiness associated with your brain literally evaporating its intelligence while you're still using it... Can look pretty sus at an arms length glance....

idk man, all just speculation on my end... and suspicion.

Consistency remains consistent by minimizing risk.

I agree, at the 1000 rating level, the player pool is just filled with obvious cheaters, sandbaggers, people flat out hacking chess.com servers, and people who play at 90% accuracy, meanwhile at 2000+ the games are just decided on who can chomp on the most hanging pieces. It's literally harder to play at 1000s than 2000s

Players of all skill levels experience humiliating defeats; the frustration of feeling crushed in chess is part of the game. The mistake is letting frustration overwhelm you; you have to move forward and overcome it.

As for chess AIs, they can be trained simply with databases if the intention is to play games with human players. Playing directly against humans would be very slow and flawed. The databases on chess.com or lichess would be more than sufficient, and there are games for all levels. So there's no logical reason to use players of 1200 or lower as guinea pigs in live games. If using players as subjects for experiments were the case, it would make much more sense to use players of 1600 as the minimum rank. (In any case, there are databases of millions of games that allow AI models to be trained with games played by humans, automatically and in a short time. Games played by players below 2500 are good for imitating human styles and levels, and those of 2500 or higher are good for learning from humans how to play good chess.)

If you think I'm "programmed" to think in a specific way, I think you're exaggerating. I simply analyze as objectively as possible. If someone doesn't like what I say and doesn't agree at all, I hope it's not because they're basing their rating on their emotions and that they actually have logical arguments to explain why they think it's impossible to raise their rating because of alleged cheaters. If my arguments crush yours before you even speak, it's best to question your own ideas; don't let your emotions override your logical reasoning.

It's less common than you think but plenty f people who don't cheat are 2000 plus cheating doesn't stop you from getting there does it suck yes is it end all be all no

And there's still probably more cheaters at my level then youes btw higher level of elon more cheaters

It's probably more common to face sandbaggers but most sadbaggres are probably 1100-2200 and blunder all the time anyway so as long as you are one tactic and can convert typically your fine

I looked over several of your games and I haven’t seen a single instance of cheating, but I have seen typical 900-1100 level playing. If you’re basing it on accuracy, any higher accuracy game hardly made it out of the opening. It’s easy to score high on openings, especially if you study them, which you should start if you want to get better. My kids knew how to play basic openings by 4/5 years old, so it’s not impossible to be good at the one area of chess you can practically memorize through repetition (obviously you need to learn more than just memorizing). 

You don't imagine it. What you see isn't just smurfs, cheaters, bots, it's a symptom of something deeper

Low ratings have become a training ground - not just for players, but for systems.
Detection algorithms. Data profiling. Pattern recognition.
You're not just playing a game. You're data.

Engine users? Some of them are cheaters.
But most of them are there on purpose - to balance the 50% win rate system
The hidden secret 50% shadow pool has been around for a long time

You ask why people still pay?

Because many still believe the game is real.

But you... you've started to notice the distortions.

What most people see is just the tip of the iceberg.
The real game is hidden - under layers of comfort, convenience.

If you're ready to go deeper, follow the red thread.
Just know:

The rabbit hole goes deep.
And it doesn't end where you think.
