Does games become harder after I pay premium membership?

I have started to use premium and my rating dropped 100+ points right after it but I do not think I played much worse than usually.

It is just frustrating to fall back after I finially reached my purpose (1300 points in rapid).

Everything is easier once you get premium. Your opponents are idiots and you win every game. They deliver mocha lattes to your door. Everybody on the forums admire and respect you. The moderators cut you some slack. The server never fails you. Premium membership is just great.

It could be because you are learning taking in new information.  Brain needs time to rewire. Just calm down.

Well the way the algorithms work . It's sure is harder to climb than it is to fall.

The answer to this is yes. I don't know why everyone is being a [removed -- MS] about this. It's obviously harder with a paid account.

Whether you pay premium or a none member pairings do not change regards to having harder opponents, I personally would not use 60% of the memberships chess training, I learned to play 43years ago and my uncles chess book collection is all the guidance I need and my memories of his teachings!

I have been convinced for some time that they deck around with the pairings.. it is quite noticeable
