You have been diagnosed by the doctor here. He says you have tilt. A breath of fresh air should make it go away.
The algorithm is made to prevent you from improving. I don't have anymore doubts about it.

Stay patient, stay positive and keep striving to improve your game.
On one hand, the Chess.com algorithm is unreliable: one day it gives you easy opponents, and the next day, extremely difficult players. There is never a middle ground, which is a big problem.
Also, it seems like it’s always the same type of players who are stronger. For example, I might play against several Indian players and win, then suddenly an American shows up. Even though I have beaten other Americans before, this one, with a much lower rating, is clearly stronger and ends up winning. That makes no sense and makes me think the algorithm is rigged. It feels like certain people or even certain nationalities are favored over others. I think those who pay get an advantage, like being matched against weaker opponents to climb faster, similar to what you see in some American games. It strongly resembles that.
A third point is completely crazy: as a beginner playing 5-minute games, I see rating swings from 320 to 435. But when the algorithm sees you rising too fast, it suddenly matches you with those carefully selected tough players, and you lose 6 or 7 games in a row, always the same way. This makes me conclude the system is even worse than I thought.
Finally, there are also problems with some nations not being able to display their flags, which is totally shameful. All this makes me think the system is illogical and unfair.
In short, despite its popularity, I find this site has many flaws and injustices that ruin the playing experience.

Do you have any proof for that?
Of course you don't, even your history tells a different story. Sure, you had a huge losing streak today. But yesterday was almost even (12 wins 9 losses). On the day before that 6-4. So what was yesterday? Easy opponents or extremely difficult?
You are probably on tilt right now. That's the reason for your losing streak and for post as well.

If I win, it's because I'm great - if I lose, it's because the website is rigged and the world is against me!!

Chess.com can’t determine if the opponent you’re going to play is mad dog at the game or an absolute goat. All it can do is pair you based in rating. If you don’t want to face players who might be 80 points above or below your rating just change your paring setting, I have it disabled for me to play anybody rated more than 25 points lower than me, I find this very helpful
Your highest rating was 1440 a few days ago.
another bait thread.
you can select the rating you face.

As your rating increases, you should expect to face tougher opponents - and you should expect to lose more. That's pretty much how most rating systems are designed to work ...
bro mad he tilted
