Also chessAGC_yt we are taking about people that actually play both game modes, in the last 7 days you have played no blitz games, if you grinded it, it would become higher than your rapid

Maybe it's not representative. Because i play a lot of rapid. All the players i played rapid with, have rapid as the highest rating. All the players i play bullet with, have bullet as the highest rating. We need to check all chess.com players….

Also there is graphs that prove chessAGC_yt the average rating for blitz is higher than rapid. If you are on desktop, you will see this when you click on each time control.

And i know why blitz is hard for me. In bullet, my intuitiveness and fast reflexs wins me the game (also the good WiFi). In rapid, my strategy, tactics and good brain wins me the game. In blitz, it's too slow to win on time, and too fast to win with strategy.

So the highest avarage rating so far is daily. The second is blitz. The third is rapid. The fourth is bullet. Wait a minute. For me, this is switched! My lowest rating is daily (idk why), the second lowest is blitz, the second best is rapid, and the best is bullet. Wait what?

average rating has nothing to do with that, more people play rapid than blitz, obv it would go down.
