Natural finger placement on keyboard?

Is this just me or is it beneficial to start with this specfic finger placement before switching back to the home row?

It seems to work for me as finding the natural(?) curve of fingers make it easier for movement between rows so that I can speedup without much strain. ♪(ﾟ▽^*)ﾉ⌒☆

Or perhaps it is nothing but an illusion from tryharding to type on a high desk. ><

Is 7 finger typing style bad?

I use 7 fingers for typing and I usually average around 75wpm to 85wpm with my personal best being 87wpm with 100 percent accuracy. I discovered monkeytype yesterday and Im wondering if I should change the style or if this is fine

Monkeytype: Stop vs Delete on Error

In Monkeytype there are two settings that prevent you from continuing after making an error: When "stop on error" is enabled you have to backspace, "delete on error" automatically deletes the word. Which of those settings are you using and what are your thougts on which is preferable in which situation?

How average is my typing

Just did a typing run on monkeytype, and I was wondering how it compares to others. I also don't type using the normal patterns, or home position and stuff. (This was the first run of a session)

Could competitive typing be an eSport? Is it already?

What do you think about eSports related to typing. Imagine individuals competing on series of text blocks for high score. Cheating would certainly be a major issue just like in competitive gaming.

Does this already exist somewhere? I want to earn friendship points or something with my WPM.

How do I progress?

Hey, to specify what my question is about. How do I progress via monkeytype so that it translates into real life. Yes I can select punctuations, but are there any other tips? Maybe focus on accuracy and consistency instead of speed? Long form test instead of short ones etc.
