I don't know why but sometimes I wonder why chess.com gives life time membership to titled players and when they are on their peak and if we want the same thing we have to pay for it Meanwhile they don't need premium at all 😕 Isn't it injustice with us

Having titled players on site draws other members to join.

How so?

To become titled often means investing years of your life in pursuit of a hobby for which you will get probably no money whatsoever, a membership to this site is not comparable in value to the opportunity cost invested in becoming titled. If you're looking for some new super-rich privileged demographic to complain about (since that is obviously the motive of your life) titled chess players are not it. And private companies can do whatever they deem in their own business interests so this is really not your business anyway. Instead why don't I create a thread to complain about the privilege you have of not being titled, i.e. investing your time in activities that are more rewarded in society? Well I for one have no interest in doing so since that'd be based on a victim mentality that is fruitless / arbitrary / self-serving and very lame / sad.
