Low elo players in blitz play strength is many times their elo ratings. Opinion.

There seems to be a very odd thing I notice. I thought 500 to 900 elo is a beginner rank in chess, but people on here are playing much, much better than their rank, sometimes playing at twice their rank in terms of strength. I have played otb enough to gauge this imo. I also notice lower rapid rating then blitz rating and I see people with 4,000 games played, but a 550 elo, when you play them though the skill is around 1200 to 1400. Just seems very odd..? Maybe its normal here?
