For the past few months, I've been doing some research on the streakiness of players on lichess (using the July 2014 and February 2017 databases). If you played during those months and are curious if our research identified you as streaky, please respond and tell me whether you think you are streaky and then I'll tell you what the data says. What I can say is that about 9% of players' game histories have less than a 5% chance of being the result of a random process. So, it would seem there's a significant amount of streaky players but what our research is lacking is the perception of those identified as streaky. Another thing I've noticed is that some of the players most identified as streaky have been banned from lichess for artificially decreasing their rating. How does lichess make such a determination?
