Is chess.com a scam?

It's expected that a chess server with such a large population would have supporting servers all over the world. Why? Because a player playing chess on chess.com from Siberia shouldn't suffer from the lag caused by chess.com itself.

However, if chess.com doesn't provide a supporting server near Siberia, a serious injustice arises between a player living in the US and playing chess on chess.com and a player living in Siberia. This injustice is especially pronounced in quick chess games like 1-0. Furthermore, if chess.com pits these two players against each other (Siberia is just an example; I'd say those with low IQs shouldn't take this as a personal interpretation, but they will),

And if chess.com charges money for a player from Siberia who participates in chess.com and suffers from lag,

Wouldn't that be considered fraud?

Where does it say chess. Com will guarantee you won't get hit by lag? You just gotta play faster it's the only way, I'm deducted 4 sometimes 5 seconds at the start of every bullet game, even with no lag which is horrendously difficult to then compete, try turning on focus mode, turn off the engine, set animation of the pieces to off or default mode, delete all cookies etc delete or tun off background apps running, add site to homepage
