chess.com is estimated to make 200 million dollars to 2 billion dollars yearly, 6 grand is nothing compared to even 1 mill

do you not know anything about the ppl here? like there a lot of clubs and ppl who run them who arent paid, they do it willingly. actually thats not a bad idea to apply to forums since the current ones dont do a good job anyways, let trusted ppl act as voluntary mods and they do it for free too

How would chesscom earn money then-

its one feature, im not asking for everything to be free. and they make plenty of money from ads and other premium only features

Game Review is one of the most actively developed features, utilizing a lot of staff resources and it runs server side so users a lot of hardware resources as well. That means it costs the site a lot to provide and will be limited based on premium membership.

Where are you getting 2 billion from? The last public information I've seen online puts the number under your 200 million suggestion and that was something published in December 2024

Game Review is server side. Self Analysis, move-by-move positional analysis, is client side.
