is there any particular reason I can watch people climb in rating for a video series and scale by 150 ELO or more per match up or down and myself scale by 2 ELO per match up or down and on top of that go down by 2 ELO getting a tactic right in the time alotted but if I spend too much of the time alotted go down in ELO and by spending too much of the time I don't mean letting the timer turn red I mean simply using 2 much of allotted time with no indicator or is something on my account glitching I am genuinely interested in the knowledge regarding this

When you have done very few problems in TT, your rating is considered to be fairly uncertain and one way to true to get at your "true" rating quicker is to have the changes in rating larger (so that as you do more problems, the rating changes with less). The same holds true for other ratings here as well. (So, if you were to reset your TT history, you would also see those huge ratings swings.)

There are some articles here (on TT ratings specifically) and here (on the rating system used).
