I'm in a similar boat, I used to play ~ 50 games a day and I'm down to about 3 games a week now. No weekend play.

Once you get to ~1900 FIDE level of play and rework your repertoire for anti-engine strategy you realize just how much rampant cheating is happening.

This continues until at some point you have to ask yourself, do you want to waste your time volunteering to be a victim to satisfy someone else's severe mental illness.

They get their dopamine hit for psychologically abusing you with a tool they didn't create, often with some amount of delusion to justify it.

What do you get out of playing a game against a Super-GM rated computer? Nothing but time theft.

The current state of the game is without a guarantee that the game is between two humans, the game isn't actually chess. The providers for online chess don't make that guarantee.

So based on the incentives, the game you play on their services is more likely to be not-chess but they still call it chess. Deceitful bunch.
