I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I can't help but think there's some psychological manipulation going on with chesscom. I can swing 200 ELO on any given day. I can start off any morning, like this morning, with warmup games on lichess and win 4 out of 5 games, then switch to chesscom and lose six games in a row. Theoretically I'm playing opps of my level on both sites, right? You can almost always get a rematch on lichess, less than half the time here.  If this just happens now and then you ignore it and call it variance, but it seems to ALWAYS happen on chesscom. I never have a normal day. It's ALWAYS a huge swing on one side or the other, ALWAYS some kind of streak that sends me down in the dumps or makes me think I've finally turned a corner. Am I just being paranoid here? Anyone else experience this?

You’re not paranoid. I think they are using bots that are design to play like humans. Other online multi-player games do this same thing

I love how people play fast chess and then worry about streaks. Play rapid or longer, then say the same thing.
