Since Lichess doesn't have the same vision of chess as other sites, why do you want your ideas to be listened to?
you don't even ask the opinion of the community or the most experienced people.
a significant percentage of people here don't want to have to pay, especially for something that serves no purpose. you want to buy time, it's no use. and if others want to do it, let them do it elsewhere.
suppose a dystopia, where your idea is accepted:
1) a very significant part of the community will be outraged that Lichess is denying its philosophy, a philosophy of free chess for which Lichess has been fighting for a decade.
2) Lichess will be forced to make a post to justify, part of the community will leave, there will be tensions within the mod team
3) Lichess will have to change its name, since it is no longer free.
4) the faithful of Lichess will recreate the real Lichess and the usurping site will die out, without success or popularity.
if you want to create a site, you can, but in this case, do not use the Lichess source code, since it is free. instead, pay a business company, a developer team, a communications company. sign contracts with pros. If you have money, do it.
