I was looking in another subtopic, and I saw a post by @wen_wrn saying lichess should get rid of arrows that help with calculation in live games. I agree with this, and feel like it takes away realism. What do you guys think, should Lichess get rid of arrows in live games
1. Get Rid of Arrows
2. ???
3. Realism

3. Realism
It's a nice feature especially for streamers, why getting rid of it?
Briefly there pros is surely overwhelming their cons.

Arrows shouldn't be removed from Lichess. There are many different things about online chess and real life chess, like how you can premove in online chess, but premoving isn't realistic. However, if Lichess removes premoving, games like ultrabullet and hyperbullet would be very hard to play. Also, like what @MohammedElasha said, arrows are a pleasant feature for streamers. Streamers can use them to show tactics and other ideas for the people watching the stream. Without arrows, some people might not understand what the streamer is doing. Arrows are good for calculating your next moves. Both sides can use arrows, so no side is at advantage. If Lichess had to become more realistic, then arrows, premoves, promoting to a queen automatically, and many other excellent features of online chess will be removed. Also, some people will probably switch to chess.com so they can use arrows to calculate. So, arrows shouldn't be removed from the game.
