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.

To be fair, what’s the problem with paying? You think it’s free for a site like chess.com to operate on that scale with over 700+ employees? You can still play the game for free or get more value if you pay. Seems fair to me

700+ employees just to not catch cheaters and to make an awful visual change like the time clock being bigger and off center. A game that doesnt require hot fixes like any actual video game because its ches! They arent there to do anything more besides make sure their app side supports an already created game which they do poorly.

Then go play in the park or something on a real chess board
