Cheater at blitz under 500 elo

I play blitz and I am under 500 elo, seriously what is the point to cheat at this level ? That's not even a serious hobbyist level..

Just amazing human nature..

wdym "other website"? Do you mean chess.com?
I mean you might think cheating at a low level is silly, but your opponent might not

Second, cheating under 500 elo is a little bit weird.
And third, how can we help you if we don't see any examples...

The ratings distribution over there is different (maybe more aligned with US Chess / FIDE ratings). They might call Lichess ratings "inflated".

even like that let say +200 elo ( that would be big) it would still be cheating to be sub 700 elo. If it's for bragging right what the point?

The point is to win, to avoid the frustration of losing, to tell people 'I have x or y rating', etc.

Sure it's low but 500 elo people cheat to not be 500 anymore duh lol

The ratings just work somewhat differently. I'm rated almost 300 points higher in bullet here than on chess.com, but about 200 points higher in blitz on chess.com than here. My bullet ratings are sort of provisional, but in blitz they're pretty much normal. Top blitz ratings on chess.com are around 3400 compared to 3000 here, so it isn't surprising. On the levels below 2000, the Lichess blitz ratings are often higher than chess.com blitz ratings of the same players.

Well talking of low level cheating only case I can remember is a streamer called DrLupo who cheated while rated 600 against a 1300 after blundering his queen. It was particularly notable since it was in a $100,000 tournament and I think the backlash has cost him half his audience.

Having said that it makes it look really unimpressive if someone says they're using an engine rated over 3000 to feed them all the moves in blitz and using this perfect knowledge they obtain a rating of 500. It's like sitting an exam where you literally have the answer sheet and still failing the exam.
