Why am I rated lower on blitz than I do on Rapid?

Is it because players playing blitz are better or I play bad in less time?

I am rated ~1500 on rapid and ~1000 on blitz.

Blitz ratings are quite hard, maybe a 100+ harder than Rapid. Not 500 though!

You might be right, not sure how it goes lower than 1500. But I know Blitz ratings are tough. I just like 10|0 since I play to improve.

It's working great for me.

I thoroughly disagree. It's worked for me in the past and it does now as well. I did fine OTB when I mostly played 10|0 online in the past.

In the end I agree with you that longer is better. But at least I am 1-2 steps away from the 3|0 that people seem to spam all day, even bullet. I think it's hard to improve a lot with just playing that.

Absolutely standard for someone to have a 300-500 point gap in their rapid/blitz ratings at ~1500. If you're a developing player and your blitz rating is close to or above your rapid/classical, you're doing it wrong.
