How did I improve this much?

I was just 1650 in bullet a month ago, and now I am about 1850 in bullet. How did my rating go up like that when all I did was play with some speed and play more accurate?
I was playing like normal

Uhh no.

Kevin was 1600, and zoomed to 1800. BOOM. He never tilted
Same:

February: 1600-1700
March: 1900
April: 2000
May: 2100
June & July: 2150-2250
August & September: 2100-2200

I can't explain it.
I can’t say this for bullet. I have gained almost 200 blitz rating in one day in the past though, and ended up going from 800-1200 extremely fast...

When you do something a lot you get better at it, this is normal.

Same thing I wasn't that improving until randomly I jumped to 1800
I don't think I improved I think bullet playerbase is simply quiting

Quite a jump... If we are throwing out guesses I'll add a couple:
1. Maybe the 24 hour tournament on Aug 4 stressed out the pool and things are still coming back around.
2. Maybe it is normal for bullet ratings to move a few hundred points.
3. I am open for challenges - but only from the two of you that have inflated ratings. Let's go.
