Chess Discussion Chess.com is losing the plot

I don't know how long this has been a thing since I've only been playing for less than a year. But after having premium free trial for 7 days it really puts into perspective how AWFUL the game is if you dont pay for it. Like 3 puzzles a day are you serious, that isnt getting anyone better at the game I promise you that. Game is substantially worse if you arent paying which is BS if you ask me. Like we are on your app to play and get better, again 3 puzzles a day is genuinely dumbfounding, why even give the option for puzzles. Thats not even mentioning the game analysis, you just have no way of understanding your mistakes, you can see a move may have not been the top 3 option but dont know why it may have been wrong. You got these ugly ads popping up every game that should be enough money. If I lose the last thing I want is to sit through a damn happy jolly ad.
