Bots in live chess

As the title suggests, I am curious why chess.com have unspeakable amounts bots disguised as real players in live chess. Do they plan on keeping them? I only want to play humans. Will chess.com get rid of them or not? Also, what is the point in the ranking systems given these facts? Thank you.

... Really ... You play chess and so do us, bot always say the same thing again and again but we say something else, rating, how would chess.com handle a lot a bots and increase or decrease the difficulty of them, on the leaderboard there's the top players Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, Hikaru is a streamer and shows how he plays on chess.com, so the easiest question i have answered.

Such sites are always full of bots and cheaters, and they are easy to spot, they tend to 'think' in a blitz even after D4 E5 or some other moves that are almost instantaneous for human players, another type is players who do not 'think' at all, no matter the variation they always respond within 3s.

I think it may be related to the business, as usual, they have premium users, so they want to make them happy, and to do this, you would need some sloppy bots that will give them some easy wins, or just matchmake them against players on a losing streak.

Whatever it is, it is not clean and not fair. Humans are absolutely terrible pieces of %#@$@, and online anonymous stuff is the best place to observe it.

there are no bots that are sanctioned by chesscom, there are cheaters tho. they usually get banned, and if they don't, contact chesscom directly

How do you know they got banned? Are there any stats on banned accounts?

I think I can easily write a bot that won't get banned, make it do a blunder once in a while, and randomize the depth and time to think on a move, I think this is absolutely impossible to ban such bots unless you will ban some drunk GMs too.

Yes there are a lot if bots. And almost everybody is cheating. It has no use playing online.

Because they don't. There's no need and no point.

'because they don't' is not a very compelling argument.

Cash is always a pretty good point, in literally every MMO game they rig the game for the premium users and try to force others to spend some money too, so this would not be something new, it would be rather new if they don't do this at all.

Still isn't something being done.

if i am not mistaken, martin is a moderator here. he is not a programmer. he is not an executive or even an employee of chess.com. he doesnt have any inside knowledge as to what is going on. he just parrots what he is told.

He may have some knowledge though, depending on how this project is managed. On most of my IT projects, we had one daily or weekly briefing for everybody, so the lady from HR heard about the problems of the backend too, people are lazy creatures.
