The new trend on Lichess: "NO REMATCH"

I do not rematch often, just for the cause that i want have a quick review of the game after just played, that's all.

Usually I will do one rematch (unless the opponent wastes time playing out a dead lost or dead drawn position). After that I usually take a short break as I tire out quickly during games these days.
true (ıf you playing chess on playchess.com everybody accept rematch offer )
information :
bullet is kiler of chess, TUR : yıldırım satrancı geriletiyor ( some turkish chess players tell this )
I dont like rematch from opponents that won me.. that sounds like someone trying to humiliate me. Also, some guys accept rematch until they loose the first game and then stop, this is unsportsmanlike.

But sometimes I accept rematch from guys I won: "everybody deserves a second chance".

I find it beautiful when stronger players play multiple games between them. It seems fairer to play at least a 'best of 5', in any sport this is a healthy and logical practice.
I, too, like to review my games afterwards at this point. So, I rarely rematch. That said - If it's bullet you're worried about - don't be lol. Nobody cares about bullet anyway. Play some classical games and agree to review the games after with your opponent. That's going to help you progress a lot more than playing bullet.
I think the interface on Lichess is set up in a way that discourages people to take rematches. On chess.com, for example, you get a window that pops up and says "X would like a rematch. Would you like to accept or find a new opponent?" I wouldn't be surprised if having that question directly addressed to you rather than the current system would probably lead to more people accepting rematches.

I don't think this is a new thing though.
