lemme break it down for you:
1st (people said this one earlier): the "otfers" would move into gen discussion and rot the forums dry.

2nd: there are some good otf posts, but they get overshadowed by brainrot like the thing you linked there. stricter rules for otf? sure! but deleting it? nah

3rd: chess.com gains revenue off those people in otf. if you dont have membership and you take a look to the right of the screen, there are ads running so that chess.com makes money. not a whole lot, but mabye a couple 100 bucks a day total.

4th: i dont have anymore ideas to come up with, come back later i guess.
thanks for reading

haiku i came up with:

womp womp, you are jerk

The OTF is not benefitting the chess community, it is simply a place were people discuss completely off topic useless stuff that has no business being on a chess site. For example, this forum really highlights the problem chess.com has created and must now eliminate.

There's got to be at least three reasons the OTF's exist.
One of them is - chess.com has to compete with other chess websites and provide features.
Second - to have a complete experience its better to have community features.
Third - there's a demand for OTF and other forums. People want places they can chat about various things. Yes - has to be within the rules of course.
-------------------------
Idea: The biggest problems for chess.com aren't its forums.
My guess:
1) cheating is the #1 problem on games websites.
2) people having many alt accounts on the site is close behind - and also overlaps with #1.
What is #3 ?
Could be game lag/busy server/software glitches and the like.

The people in OTF will not go to normal forums, instead, they will go to clubs where they can yap in peace.
