My Prediction On What Will Happen With The New Profile Update

So as you may know chess.com says that they will roll out the new profile update to everyone even if the majority hates it (myself included)

So here is my prediction on what will happen, either chess.com reverts it back or here is my detailed prediction if they don't.

So if they dont people will now try and flex how many friends they have instead of views and spam the friend links in clubs forums etc. (Mods/People will complain to staff) Then maybe chess.com removes friends from the profile as well after the incident i mentioned above.

I feel like there is definitely a clear disconnect from the community and the developers of the website/app. The developers rarely do our suggestions/problems. (another example being the new game review that everybody hated) I see so many good suggestions in forums in chess.com beta and the developers rarely if never implement it. So share your thoughts down below about the new profile update and the gap between the community and the developers

I agree, but the old one is nicer. To view the old one I just use the guest tab to view the profile without logging in

I am glad they kinda removed views, tbh.

What concerns me most is not the removal of views, but the removal of NOTES

I’m fine with it. I’m just extremely happy that profile views are gone now.

#8 same

Because profile views are incredibly dumb. We need chat points back.

EXACTLY

Where did you see it

real

Yeah it sucks...

what's chat points?

The prime of chess.com social layouts. It tracked how many posts you posted on forums.

I think the only people who hate it are primarily focused on the social side of this site. It makes sense, the removal of notes and views is bound to tick some people off. However, you guys are the minority here. The vast majority of this site focus on chess, including me, and I believe that his update is focus on them. As a chess player I quite enjoy the new interface. The stats and rating graphs are easier to access and clearer, and everything is presented in a smaller space. I quite like this new interface, and I think it should be kept.

I agree. It makes sense for the millions of chess players that are focused on chess and don't care about how much their profile has been viewed and whatnot. It should stay.

I don't even remember my view count. It was somewhere around 2k I think.

It’s more of the notes, and I think the notes pmo and others bc we like notes, and communicate with some ppl through notes. It’s not really a social thing, more of connecting, yk?
