Why is Chess.com growing so quickly?

You have no counter argument because you block the opposition and have no argument yourself

I guess I'm unblocked... for now...

I gave you 4 things driving people to chess… as a new player myself as a reference and all you said is no lol… then went on a tangent about Andrew tate because he made you upset 😂😂

kangusmangus

Yeah dude blocks his counter arguments… WEAK

40 people showing up for an event isn't exactly monumental.  

Right, but it wasn't 40 and that wasn't the point I was making.

His argument is that bots "from certain countries" are making Chess Dot Com grow like what happened on Twitter.

Probably but I also see a huge amount of views on YouTube and saw how the algorithm drew me in… saying Andrew tate and queens gambit aren’t relevant is REALLY ignorant too… also blocking people in a forum for giving counter arguments just makes me doubt the guys intelligence at this point 😂

I don't follow Twitter news... would have been better for him to just say he thinks it's bots.

I mean even if you don’t like Andrew tate he is a good motivational speaker AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET…. Op out of touch… peace

I have yet to hear a well supported counter argument to my points

I think that my argument that it's self-promotion is a good one. They bought a bunch of stuff and it had a positive synergistic effect.

No, he's rational and smart. All the scarier.

kangusmangus

I guess blocking and unblocking is a weak move… but idk I’m sure some of the traffic is bots but I can also say from experience that the things I mentioned are definitely driving significant traffic to chess

The local chess club here in Preston, UK has had a significant increase in new people turning up this winter.

Whatever the truth is, no one will ever say.

He's a 2000+ rated blitz player.  Somehow I doubt the opinions of a trash-talking 400-ish scrub make any difference to him.

Lol I’ve played chess maybe under a month and very casually all while staying up high on a bender… If you really think I care about a rating 😂 you’re hilarious… it’s not even relevant to this conversation… what hasn’t changed is the fact that I know why new people are playing chess as I’m one of them… and that you’re a typical internet troll…

kangusmangus

And you can call it trash talking… I call it someone who’s out of touch with what’s bringing people into chess… and a NEW PLAYER telling him what it is and him getting butt hurt because he doesn’t like the answer and blocks me… so I call him out on it… and then you come in and add nothing to the conversation… y’all  are hilarious😆 

kangusmangus

of course Tate is someone who is aiming to target a predominantly male audience by parroting a line of misogyny while becoming a global pariah amongst females who make up half the world population.” Honestly I only commented because the amount of hate this guy gets by feminist men is hilarious… My wife and several women I know like Andrew tate and think he’s funny… then you go online and these dudes LOSE THEIR MIND over him… it’s honestly pathetic and hilarious at the same time… dude is butthirt enough to block people over it when they simply answered a question…. But yeah my rating matters 😂 lotta bunk in this thread and forums I’m out… have fun blocking those who disagree with you 😂

”I wish Elon would take over chess.com and clean house.  I believe he would provide us with clear answers about daily use numbers and the exponential growth trend supposedly taking place on chess.com.  Even though there is nothing happening in chess. “ typical college student thing to say too… 

toxic_internet

Your ad nauseum whining is a feminine trait.  Hopefully Tate will be out of jail soon, and can teach you how to comport yourself like a man.
