Is Chess.com making fool of people to get them to take premium membership?

Hi,

I started the premium membership trial for a week and during that time, I was winning nearly every game that I was playing. My rating went upto 1333. When I didn't extend the membership, I started losing a lot more frequently and my rating is down by close to 50 point.

Has anyone else also faced similar issue? I read somewhere that Chess.com algorithm nudges you towards premium membership by making you feel that you are losing a lot more than winning.

I can say I lost a lot of points and I never signed up for premium. 

They hypnotized me once into believing I was an aardvark, and then I checkmated them.

 

I don't think this sounds like what you are experiencing though. Have you asked a gynecologist to look into this? 

The gynecologist as well psychiatrist had no appointments as the amount of work that has to be done to fix you both mentally, emotionally and physically is unlike they had ever seen before. They mentioned that you are a gone case and any comments from you have to be ignored as done with people who are in troll asylum.

There's nothing special about the pairing algorithm that will do what you're describing. People have streaks when playing, it happens online an over the board as well.
