Chess.com is pay to win.
How. You play chess. Sure stuff is behind a paywall buuuuut you do not need to pay to win just play and get better. Read chess books do some lessons in other sites and come back later. It is THAT simple. You do not need to pay to play there is Ali and other players. For free. You can watch other people play chess. Free lesson every week. Daily puzzles. Plus clubs and stuff. So no, chess.com is not pay to win or pay to play.
Well chess.com is great I love it. I used to play on lichess but their moderation levels are crazy and it feels overly moderated and biased. I rather play on rustypawn.com if I am looking for minimalistic and free. It may lack features but if you just want to chat and play, can’t beat rustypawn.

I haven't seen one mod in lichess all the years I've been there
WWhy are the puzzles in the puzzle rush so unrealistic and weak. Every time it's the same old tired puzzles with the same old tired solutions, or some solution that is not based on reality. C'mon, the right move is to move your queen so that a pawn can take it easily with no repercussions and instead the system does some other move? No one would ever, ever do that, and the computer wouldn't even do that, but the puzzle is wrong unless you do this completely unrealistic move. How's about opening puzzles, mid game puzzles, not just constant checking puzzles. BORING!!!!!!
chess.com could solve a lot of the site issues by using amazon web services and getting virtual servers. with aws you only pay for what you use. when the site is very busy virtual servers can be turned on and when there is less traffic they could turn the servers off and they would not pay for the time the servers are off. also it would help to use load balancers
If you visit the Jobs section in this site, you will find that they use state of the art techs currently available for Software Engineering, including AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, etc.
