Viewing my profile, you can probably see that I don't take contests seriously. This is because I have a different account where I had once reached Expert....

Sadly, I don't know whether I want to continue CP anymore. I've spent 3 years learning all sorts of algorithms, but then in contests, I'm never given the chance to apply those algorithms, and something that really hurts on a personal level is seeing people who have minimal understanding of algorithms solve 1900+ problems by "math abusing". What's the point of spending time and energy(and money) in learning algorithms when you can't even get good results out of it?
