I've paid for memberships to this website for two consecutive years, and all I've got to show for it is a reminder that I'm not as smart or as popular as some others. This website is terrible for mental health, and it profits off of the emptiness and dissatisfaction that you feel with your life. It is a bad bad bad company.
whats the problem with just playing chess and chilling out

Toxic community, manipulative influencers, and no effective moderation or support presence.

What's wrong with a little vanity?

Why would you want to be popular on a chess website lol
this site is overrun with children.
The current user profile page is terrible. I hate seeing how many friends and followers a user has instead of what their chess rating is. It makes me so envious of more popular people that I spend hours of every day on the forums trying to increase my notoriety, instead of playing chess. I sincerely feel like my life is being trafficked by chess.com. If chess.com doesn't do something to reduce the vanity of the user experience on this website, then I am going to close my account soon.
