go look at the accuracy between 200s and 2400s on this site. around 60-70%, there's no difference.
I think this site is rigged to keep some people up and others down in rating.

you stand as good a chance to lose to one as the another.
if you are unlucky enough to have a strength between 1000 - 1400 you suffer through a hellish fight to get from bottom to top. And between the ratings not being accurate and unfair playing practices; the site is extremely fortunate that they have this chess monopoly.
Ok, let's check that.
I will take blitz as an example, as that is what you have been playing recently.
1 000 - 1 100 opponents: 794 W - 634 L
1 300 - 1 400 opponents: 482 W - 903 L
There is a world of difference in your results.
So it is obviously not correct. What happened is that you have recency bias. You have lost a lot of rating and you've lost some games recently to lower rated people so you have this impression.
