Saying the site is rigged is one of the best coping mechanisms for chess players seeking an excuse for their current rating.

Obviously, if you really do deserve a high rating, you will get there.

That’s exactly how it works. If you win, you gain rating, and you play against similar-rated opponents, so winning makes your matches get harder.

The rating that it tries to keep you at reflects your chess skill. If it want to improve the rating-that-chess.com-intentionally-tries-to-keep-you-stuck-at, you need to improve your chess skill.

Yes chess.com is 100% rigged if you win sure you get higher rating and therefore higher rating player but those they give you as an enemy are in much higher elo than you are overall

It's true and sometimes you even lose more games than you have won. Actually, it's awful. And here is a piece of advice that you should stop playing right after you lose one game.
