First of all, I know these are most common time controls. Yes, people like to play blitz and bullet!
On the other hand if you want more people to your team how does it help if your team is almost totally same as 100 other teams? Why would someone join if he knows 100 teams that are as available as that one? Is there some problem if from 10 tournaments 9 would be blitz or bullet and that one would be rapid or something else? By rapid I mean at least 10 2 because these 10 0 and 8 0 or are not that different than 5 0 blitz. That 10th tournament could be FR as well if not rapid.
I know there are rapid and classical tournaments on Lichess. I sometimes play them, because I like them.
Rapid arena tournament is of course better than no rapid tournament at all, but still I would think Rapid Swiss that lasts something between 2-4 hours is more popular than Rapid 12 hour Arena tournament. Almost always noone joins that long Arena tournaments. Is it the same with Swiss tournaments? I may be wrong on this. I just have seen many times that maybe 30 people have registered to Rapid arena tournament, but then something like 3 people played it. People probably visit on different time and everyone sees that not enough games and they leave. You can't make rapid Swiss as unpopular, can you?
