I think this Platform is rigged (kind of)

Except, the site doesn't do any of that.🤔

The thing with this is trying to debunk any conspiracy theory to a believer. They'll use any reasoning, no matter how outlandish, to push their conspiracy theory in face of clear evidence against it (take flat earthers for example).

you don't understand.... we're surrounded by an ice wall on all sides, and the governments don't let us venture beyond them, that's why we can't prove the earth is flat....

So true! You know that they just faked the landing, too, to win the propaganda war... what do you mean when you say "you believe in the moon?" of course I believe in the... hmm...

If you use the rated puzzles and don't recognize that the rhythm and organization of difficulty is harder and easier according to what best ensures your engagement - as is the case with ALL algorithms in use today by any software platform - you are cognitively handicapped. It is plainly obvious after detailed use that user engagement motivates the design of the puzzles platform. Compare the "feel" of the rated puzzles to the non-rated puzzles and the manipulation is absurdly obvious. Many will fail to see this. They (you, if this is you) have a handicap that harms you and others significantly, because a blindness to this aspect of platform design, and algorithm design, across contexts, is what is leading the world into chaos and antihumanistic patterns. I am not highlighting this to criticize, but because if you are blind to this reality of contemporary life, maybe realizing through chess that you have this blindness can help to open your eyes. We all need to have open eyes about this, if we care at all about the common good. It is plainly obvious to any reasonably intelligent person using the rated puzzles that they are manipulated to increase user engagement.

Any software platform designer can tell you what I write above is true, if they work for what today is considered a competent company - indeed, today, that is almost the definition of a competent digital platform (and that is a problem for humanity's future). If you don't know this, you are ignorant about your current digital environment, and not living in reality.

I agree with you jimithing4 and with the technology question. I think they have the technology they probably have some AI doing that and yes I'm three years late to the discussion but yeah I think what you wrote is a plausible answer to why I lose almost every game (I'm just bad).

When I had a diamond free trial my rating went up five hundred points and when the free trial ran out I lost almost every game until I was around my original rating.

yup that seems pretty rigged to me
