It's just unnecessary. I know it can still work.

Well...I know they did it for a reason. Maybe bullet ratings were, on average, lower than people's blitz ratings, so they wanted to counteract that?
Weird my bullet rating was generally higher than my blitz in the beginning. All of my ratings started at 1200 when I joined. Highest bullet rating was higher than my highest blitz rating!!!
I'm keeping my rating tyvm! 1601! I was set to 1550 or something, and gained 50 more

As you heard here:

All rapid ratings and bullet ratings have been heavily increased. This creates TONS of problems, among which include playing people much stronger or weaker at the same rating, huge confusion, and most importantly, leagues such as https://www.chess.com/club/notes/not-so-pro-chess-league and https://www.chess.com/club/not-so-pro-bullet-chess-league have to disband all their teams!!
If you agree that chess.com should undo the changes, sign the petition by saying so below!
wheeee chess.com will become a lichess copy in approximately 3 years now
My rating keeps changing. One game it’s 1450 and the next is 1575 don’t know whats happening. Fine if they change the rating system but, I wanna play challenging players on or above my level. I also want to earn my rating!

Yeah, you know, that pair of underwear that always seems to uncomfortably bunch up between your butt cheeks? We need to start a petition against that.
I don’t like the change either. If anything I would like to have seen the addition of a rating for longer games like 45/45 and 60 per side. Those time controls aren’t really “rapid.” Should 10 minutes per side be in the same rating classification as 90/30? I think not.
If you have a choice between ratings being in line with each other or not in line with each other, it makes sense to want them to be in line.
