Puzzles on player's accounts

Why are the puzzle statistics of other players hidden? I think it would be interesting to see what the puzzle stats are of some people, and if they don't want people seeing that, they can turn it off, but it would be cool to see the difficulty or the level they play at.
In the past, there were many obvious puzzle cheaters who bragged in this forum with their incredibly high numbers. This had a negative influence on the rating system, very difficult puzzles were underrated because of these cheaters. One of lichess' counter measures was to hide others' puzzle ratings.
I checked out of the annoying puzzle rating system.
I brought the level down to the minimum 600.
When you start, of course there is a inner pressure because of the points.
When you suceed you get, say, 10 points, you loose, they cut you 20 points, very, very annoying!
And more over, say you see the task, you win the say a rook, but the system says: one more move! One more move.... ok you move something, and because I'm not Magnus, maybe it turns out 23 moves later, this wasn't the Stockfish move... sooo you get nothing, also the game is won, you did right, you won the material, your position is fine, you will win!
Buuut nooooo, 0 points and only hate and anger remains!
Its not worth it. Sometime I do anonymos, even if its not so personaly perfect.

umm i think you need to see some puzzle books
and its good to know the follow-on after you win material.
disagree?
It helps you at least a tiny bit! get that!
its kinda annoying losing double than you earned.. but that's what encourages you to do more puzzles to get your previous rating.
Sure, HeylithaV, the 'follow on' is definitly important and helps developing, but I want to solve just a puzzle, not solve a entire game 100% exactly like Stockfish.
And if this encouraging you, ok, you are lucky, please enjoy it.
But for me its really frustrating and annoying, so it will not help me.
Just doing anonymos something is better than and more relaxing for my heart.
Have a nice day!
