Contemplating the validity of someone who has played 20,000 games

I really am totally confused by this site. I really want to believe in the validity and fun of this forum, but to imagine playing someone who has played 20,000 games is unreal. It smells of AI. Lichess isn't going to do anything about anything on this site. Ugh.

Some players have a life, that allows them to play hour after hour....
Its not fake.

I've played over 9.000 games here. That sounds a lot, but over the more than 5 years I've been a member, that's an average of less than 5 games per day.

Without knowing how long someone has been a Lichess and which time controls someone uses, it's hard to say whether 20,000 games is unreal. 20,000 classical games in a few months? Yeah, that would be unreal. 20,000 bullet games in 10 years? That would just be a handful of minutes of playing every day.

I have close to 11 000 games on chess.com and a few games here on Lichess to. I started to play chess 1,5 year ago. So yeah 20 000 games would be me in the end of this year if I keep playing like this.

The account I wrote about was started 4 years ago. I don't know. I just cannot believe this stuff anymore.

20,000 games, not 7,500. I know people don't understand quantity, but yeah, I guess it's kinda valid.

Some people I swear
I played 7.5k games over 2.5 years, so someone could easily get 20k+ in 6 years. I'm not spending 4-5 hours playing either, so someone doing that could get about 20k games in 3 years or so, maybe even less
