There's probably been some inflation happening aswell as just people getting more used to online chess.
Also, can you give me advice on get better at blitz chess as a 2000 rated player?
Is it easier or harder to get rating points on chess.com now days ?

Always play better, stronger in rating players. Set your chess.com settings to lowest -25 and infinity rating range.
Improve your positional play:
FORCE more endgames in your games (Exchange queens early as possible, simplify and trade etc..). Improve prophylaxis.

Thank you for the reply,
Is there any way to directly train positional skills? Like game analysis?
also what does prophylaxis mean

lol... yea right... NOT.
How about the site majority user.... is between 15-20yrs old... raised in the age of Relativism and Post Modernism. Because of a lack of ethics and foundational morals, the % of some form of PCB usage is is full effect.
The real answer to the question is ..... VPNs with split screens opened to an Opening's Data base, or a lap top propped up near by... loaded with some archaic engine from the 90s. that plays at 2100 elo ... making moves that a human would struggle against, but a modern engine's wouldn't even consider (or use something like an old 1990s Fidelity Mach III)
I'm talking about rating inflation here.
What's your take on it?
I remember 3-4 years ago many titled players stagnated at some rating range and now they are 200, 300 points higher, and they are not young guys and they stopped playing competitive chess just online so it's not like the grow in strength like youngsters.
Also so many more GM''s in 3000+ plus range now .
Also Hikaru for example was like 3200 I think highest blitz rating and it was like top of the top now days 3400
So what do you think do you feel the difference's in ratings 3,4 years ago and now?
