I'm new to Codeforces, and I'm curious if there are any other way than participating in rated contests?
Please don't be toxic, we can be friends :D

Ugh! such a harsh reality :)
No, only rated contests
Unfortunately, no :)
Sorry, no :(
No bro unfortunately , no :( i wish it'd be there
Why? Why do you wish it were there? What does a higher number on the internet give you? The rating is there to give you a measure of how well you have participated in contests recently. But, for some reason, you would want to increase your rating without participating in contests. I cannot fathom any logic here.
like only for newbies before expert for grwoing cuz its quite difficult(maybe only for me) to gain rating
But it is not growth. The growth is getting better, learning new stuff and improving your results. Increasing the number doesn't make you better.
If there were a button "get +1000 rating" in your profile, would you press it?
no cuz it'd not be fair BUT im not saying like that easy i mean like for instance each 150 — 200 completed tasks adding 100 rating because it's like reward for newbies
That is not what rating is. Rating is a measure of how well you do in contests on average.
okay i understood that im wrong and wasted ur time have a nice day || evening || night || morning good bye wish u to continiue to do that good contests :) and lil' bit more div.4
dont be toxic guys im new so i think its okay bruh :(
I've just realized that if one instantly get +1000 rating, his rating will eventually decreased to his real skill level, and other participants will get ~ 1 more rating. And if everyone gets +4000, nothing really changes (except the fact that everyone becomes Tourist), since rating changes depend only on rating differences, which remain the same.
You already get a bunch of free rating for your first few contests, that should be more than enough to not get stuck in newbie
If you can't get rating after that it's your problem, nobody in expert struggles to solve the first problem of a div 2
the difficulty also goes up along with your score (for example ur score would grow faster as a newbie than a LGM bc u rly dont have much to lose with lower score)
for newbies, it's more about not having confidence to participate in contests but your point is correct.
I don't think other ways of gaining rating would be honest, because even in contests people use AI to solve problems, if there would another way(like solving problems for gaining rating), they probably will just read editorials and try to find the easiest way.
I'm curious why do you guys downvote me so much :(
