Over-The-Board Player Profiles

Hi,

I have noticed that chess.com has updated their over-the-board player profiles page, making it so that not as many players can be viewed. This is quite disappointing, and I'm confused as to why this change was made. For example, see https://www.chess.com/players/magnus-carlsen or https://www.chess.com/players/fabiano-caruana. It used to be that everyone with a FIDE profile and available games had a page similar to this, not just certain players. The page wouldn't have a description or anything, but would still be linked to one's FIDE profile and have their games available down below. For a while, I had my own page there and thought it was super cool, but now that page is inaccessible. Not being able to see everyone's OTB profile and games on chess.com is also a bit frustrating when trying to prepare for international players who don't have very many games on Chessbase, as the chess.com player profiles added all the games from DGT Broadcasts into its database. 

Also, I'm wondering if there's still a way to access player OTB games. I have found https://www.chess.com/games/search?opening= but there aren't search results for many players.

The only thing I'm aware of is https://www.chess.com/players and it didn't have every FIDE player, just titled players and ones that had played in official events here I think

I am confident that all FIDE players who had available games could be searched for and their page would come up. I can still search for players and select them, but the page can't be viewed. Instead, it just says, "Oops! You don't have access to this page." I can still view the pages for most titled players, but not all of them.
