Though I do generally agree, I see more people with a higher blitz rating than rapid

Then @ChessAGC_YT, please, can you check all the chess.com players that what is their highest rating to have a representative database? Then you can prove it that i'm wrong.

I think it's because blitz is the most convenient time control. Most people play chess casually and may not have loads to time to dedicate to rapid, so they stick with blitz.

@sobrukai my blitz is almost 100 rating points lower. And i think it is because what i mentioned in my #13 comment.

Plus at higher levels it's very hard to find rapid games when you are rated 2500+ so blitz is the best option. I know lichess is a better option for high-elo rapid.

Obviously it does have something to do with it, the higher average means more people have a higher blitz rating.
