Is playing the scholar's mate attack really playing chess?

Learn how to not fall for this Opening attack. I got hit with it 4 times in one day.  When you see your opponent put their queen on a5 then bring out their bishop, if you don't play specific moves, you lose in 4 moves. Here is a link on YouTube to teach you how to fight back and not lose.

It's only kinda good in bullet

That's the only time I've been beaten by it

It's good against newbies OR sleepy opponent aswell haha. True story, I'm 789 elo played against a legit 1819 elo veteran, won with a 4# Scholar's mate just yesterday night lol. Fun fact it's now my strongest win. A reminder why you should never play chess between 8pm and 7am (the pour guy played the tournament match at 2am 😅).

This is the greatest 100 elo player,

you made a mistake? he answers.

you want to counter the scholars mate? he tells you how to.

stuck at a rating? he doesn't teach you how to improve, he gives you a link on how to improve.

Show some respect to this legend

Look who plays it in blitz:

The exact opposite of this is true. There are many ways to defend, and the only way to lose in 4 moves is if you play a random move on move 3 that does nothing against an obvious threat of mate-in-1.

Not to mention that the queen goes to h5, not a5.

I think the scholar's mate attack is a good way to avoid opening study as the move sequence are natural. I definitely would try this opening. Nakamura has played this opening too.

The Wayward Queen Attack as this is called is actually a legit opening, up to the highest levels. That's why Nakamura plays it sometimes. But the lines are draw-ish and lack the tactical richness we see in other opening systems, as far as I have seen.

Look I understand that you're pretty much as bad as literally possible on chess.com but dude Scholars mate is ridiculously easy to defend agenst. There are plenty of obvious moves that you can easily play to defend. Maybe at your level in a bullet game you may fall for it but even somebody at my level (1400-1500) can defend easily in a 30 sec game. There's no reason why you couldn't defend agenst it.

I premoved the sicilian on my alt account and lost against a 1600

In bullet, of course

Bad premoves are bad even in bullet. Best case you win 1 second, worst case you lose the game.
