Today I won three games because the opponent resigned within the first 4 moves. Is there a reason people en-masse are doing this? Do I have bad breath? What's up with this behavior?
Happened to me last week sort of, had two people resign back to back in an arena without even making their first move.
Maybe their phone rang after the 4th move. Or maybe they lost on purpose to decrease their rating.

If this is the same opponent doing this, pls use lichess.org/report , this behavior is called "sanndbagging" and this is not allowed on lichess.

That could be due to multiple things, like an emergency or an attempt of sandbagging.
In general you should report such behavior under the section "rating manipulation" and let mods take care of business. Even better if you do your own research in their profile to see if that's an isolated case or a pattern. In which case you should definitely report them.

This also includes instaresigning in arenas even when casual
I cant see white knights in any game
That's because you're in the wrong section. Kindly move along!
Or maybe you are way too strong!
