Statistics regarding games played on Lichess.

#1
Can we have (or do we have?) any statistical information regarding these?.

Questions.
1. How many games is played on Bullet, Blitz, Rapid and Classical? (Through the standard create game, not Custom time)
2. Which is the users prefered time? (Based on the standard time preferences when creating a game)
3. Which time of day (GMT= Greenwich mean time) are the activities on each game speed (daily and timely basis)

Follow up question:
4. If some game speed is not do popular, perhaps change the time to users preferences? (On standard game, not Custom made time preferences)

I know a lot of thoughts and analyze have gone through the chosing of the current particular time slots.
So if anyone have information, on how and why the particular time slots were chosen. I am very curious.

Do you have a link?
I am not talking about my own games.
I mean an advance Lichess general statistics regarding games played, both daily and weekly.

I am aware of this.
>we dont need to change the quick ones
Who is we? ;-)

I am curious of the statistics, and if some time is not used as much as others.

I still miss the old 15/15 (Nostalgia perhaps?)

Not everyone. I too use quick play.
And I know I ain't the only one who is missing 15/15
For me, there is too many options for Blitz and bullet game on quick play.
That's not turn based strategy (TBS) That's Real time strategy (RTS).
Classical chess vs fast modern chess are two different things.

Like comparing Sid Meier's Civilization computer game with equal popular Command and Conquer computer game.

Apparently the link you send, I can't view it without an App.
I'll try later on the computer. But thank you.
Hope it has the information I am searching for. :-)

if you're actually interested in this, you'll have to bite the bullet and get off your phone for just a moment.

I am interested. And you don't know why I have my interests. So please don't delve into others personal reasoning, by indicating they are stuck on their phone.

I have a follow up question, regarding how to view the data log on Android.
Not everyone has their computer besides them at all times.
