I have noticed that my Rapid online rating has always been approximately 200 rating points higher than my online Blitz. I am around the 91st percentile in rapid and in the 75th percentile for Blitz. Am I just simply better at a Rapid time control, or is the player pool just weaker?
Does anybody know this answer? Thanks!
no blitz is just enough time for security, but not enough to think. This makes it harder for general people, but easier for prodigies and sly people.
I like blitz because with one click I am able to be paired up against titled players around the world. Look at my last 3 games for example—two of them were against titled players. I do not think this would happen if I were to play a 10 minute game for example.

Blitz ratings mean nothing.
I strongly disagree.
If anything, I think blitz ratings are the best online ratings to go by. The rapid pool of players is way too small and has a disproportionately high number of cheaters in it. It also tends to be very inflated at the bottom level, and quite deflated at the top level.
Blitz ratings are the most accurate for gauging your skill level (aside from a real life FIDE rating).
imagine this answer being downvoted this hard for speaking facts. this is why forums are a joke.
no.
at higher levels blitz is more accurate at lower levels it tends to be more chaotic
