Chess.com intentionally makes you lose until you buy membership

I have a nonpaying account and this has happened to me once or twice but I struggle to believe that CHESScom is using that to make you buy a membership? What does lag and a membership have in common that can influence you to believe that you should buy one? Sorry to say CHESScom isn’t the evil mastermind company you thought to believe they were.

Agreed, that doesn't make any sense...

If anything is trying to push (not force!!) you to pay for a membership, it's the limitations of the free accounts: only 5 puzzles a day, limited games analysis, limited access to bots etc... And I'm very fine with it.

I do not see Chess.com playing with the connection and lag time to make you loose... Because even if that happened, how would they make sure players would go and THINK "ho, that's probaly because I'm only using the free features, if I start paying, that will go away"...

When I phrase it, I find it ridiculous, some sort of "Despicable me" scenario.

If you get a paying account, then you get unlimited analysis, access to all bots, more puzzles etc... Not better connection lol

This has to be the most random and pretty much stupid conspiracy ever.
