What I don t understand us why the first game has a value of 170 elo points but nowadays I’m lucky if a game is rated worth 10 elo points..

On lichess we start from 1500.

That's not true at all. On LiChess, if you haven't played any games, you are considered "unrated". That's how it's supposed to be!

and provisional rating for first 20 games in each category

Because it's not an Elo system, but a Glicko one.

In a Glicko system, there is a measure of how certain they are about your rating called RD (ratings deviation).  The higher the RD, the more your rating is likely to change.  When you first start, you'll have a high RD, but as you play more games and finish them regularly, your RD is likely to go down as the system becomes more and more sure that your rating is accurate.

how much does a person's ratings have to be to attain a masters( IM, CM, GM etc) level tag on their name?

CM is, I believe, FIDE 2200. You don't need norms for CM.

FM is 2300. You need norms for FM.

IM is 2400. You need norms for IM.

GM is 2500. You need norms and god-given gifts for GM.

thanks, I'm new to online chess or even competitive Chess even and I've attained a rating of 1500+ so I don't even know what you mean by "Norms" or the full meaning of those master titles apart from GM(GrandMaster) If you could or anyone could tell me their full meaning, I need to get to a level where I'll become one of those and have the tag on my name😎

To clarify, people who have a tag next to their names have attained that title under the auspices of FIDE, the international chess body, so you cannot get a FIDE title by playing online chess; to get a title you must participate in over-the-board FIDE rated tournaments. 

Norms are, I believe, something to do with performance in said FIDE rated tournament.
Let's say a player rated 2340 FIDE entered a FIDE tournament where there were some reasonably strong titled players, then he would potentially be eligible for a FM norm. If the 2340 performs well enough in the tournament, and his performance rating (the "rating" he would get if he had only played this tournament, based on the results he had against his rated opponents) is above 2300, he gets the norm. If he doesn't perform above 2300, he doesn't get the norm.

Feel free to correct me, anyone, I may be wrong.
