I can't accept that I'm so unsuited and bad at it.
Chess is obviously not for everyone, and some people can't improve at all...

They are generally very ruthless towards beginners, and on YouTube you can see videos of GMs like Gotham insulting triple-digit ELO players, while four-digit players laugh at them. I hate the elitist, snobbish feel of this board game. I can see why chess is not popular.

Niche hobbies always become worse once it hits mainstream. We should gatekeep harder.
What if someone studies for a few years and only gets a triple digit rating of 400 or 800?
They will probably remain a wood pusher for the rest of their lives, so playing is a waste of time.
For anyone, staying at an extremely low skill level is boring and leads to constant dissatisfaction...
