it’s a for-profit website that tries to do everything it can to get you to subscribe to a premium service (certainly sells your data too) whereas lichess has everything free and open forever
chess.com mentioned
if you like chess you should only use lichess.org btw
i have not followed chess drama for sometime. i agree but why are we hating chess.com again?

an eye watering sum presumably lol
that’s a low bar for me honestly, anything above 50 dollars is eye watering in this economy

yep my eyes are watering alright. but it must be worth a lot more nowadays i image it would be easily x10 or more.
