can lichess accounts last for ever like 10-20 years?

It could, but with war with China and the virus situation, 10-20 years is certainly forever. Things are moving too fast.

War with China? Did we stop buying their toys? Everything in the U.S. is made in China. The U.S. and China are not going to war, lelz.

When you lie dead it's nothing.

But everything is going on, people code new things and the internet gets better. There will be one day that a person codes something that thibault maybe never dreamed of and he will make his own chess website better than others before

the younger you are,
the better 10-20 years approximates 'forever'.

will the internet exist in the current form in 10-20 years?
I doubt it.
