Chess is use of 'spare time' and reflects the privileges and options to so use that time.
Like anything else - if one over-invests in something there are negative consequences.
But what would be over-investment for many would not be over-investment for many others.

People introduced to the game who know its rules like what checkmate is and how the pieces move ...
will often ask: 'is there a system of openings I can use with both white and black - to cut down on study time of openings? So that I can at least get through to the middlegame or endgame without getting clobbered fast?'
The answers they get vary tremendously.
Openings don't seem to be about 'efficiency' ...
they don't seem designed to be either.
Controversy about 'best openings' versus 'efficient openings' has been raging throughout the history of the game.
That controversy could be called 'playing chess'.

No story telling is alive and well ever hear dof the national story telling festival in tennessi USA (I forgot how to spell the state) 
Oh nice I guess it just shows people sometimes don't like to change too much they like traditions(they change to be modern but they exist) what annoys me is when they go "people don't like to go outside" or "people don't like story telling because that's not true lol" i bet we are telling story's more now than we were in the 1600s(im not sure how factualy true that last part is but the internet is very useful for this)
Chess is better than science because you get a rating.
I thought that was why chess is worse
I don't have an ego my ego has been shot since elementary school I just fake it sometimes to make myself be able to be competitive even tho I am improving insanely fast at chess(yes alot of top gms have an ego but plenty don't I think it's a personality thing and not a chess thing )
It's not bots actually here is rating inflation in daily(better players will have lower rating and newer players will have higher ) and deflation(effects better players up until the top like 99.99 %) in blitz bullet rapid ect people are getting stronger(also more people more cheaters and more geniuses )
I have had 1700s beat me technically they shouldn't be able to it happens it's not about rating it is all about ches knowledge and playing style
Because lichess has less people and the settings themself/system is different
Less people less rating deflation
And a "begginer" rating on lichess is 1000--1500 on chess.com is 500-800 beginner elo on lichess is higher

I like that one.
But in science - you can get a salary.
Even if its only as a lab technician.

The OP is spot on, it's a waste of time. I played classical chess on here, got to 1400+, but it became so boring I just didn't want to play it anymore. On live chess, I can't reach 800, I can beat 1100's, but 700, 500, play better than 1100's. I don't see this issue on lichess, there is something very odd about this whole site. I keep thinking, am I playing bots? How can 700's play better than 1200's? There is some serious BS going on here.
you are just bad
