They are rare but are a problem for those few players in tournaments who are strong enough to compete without cheating for the prizes/ first 3 places.
There is too much ado about some cheaters. Analyze your lost games, and you will understand which moves were bad. A mistake is a mistake no matter whether it was a human being or some computer software who took advantage.
And the number of cheaters will never be overwhelming. Why should anybody put some moves on the screen (or the board) that has been calculated by an engine? I mean, what could they gain from such an action? For me and almost everybody else, that would just be a boring waste of time. It is understandable if you can earn money with that, but that will never be a real problem on a free site with amateur players.

i only play against weak players like me, in 3+2s. at our level, finding beautiful combinations with a few seconds of thinking is rare. play a very bad start and become as accurate as a computer the last twenty moves too.
in the same way I have never beaten a player with more than 500 elo more than me, on the profiles of those I consider cheaters, that's what we see, and they have done it several times (look at 5 Best victories) No need to be a gmi to be surprised.
do not make the mistake that you seem to lend me, get informed before you make an opinion.
once again : quote from the chess.com team :
"Cheating is very common in everyday life ...This sad practice wreaks havoc online"
uuuh cheaters on 3+2? you have to be extremly fast to be able to cheat in blitz. Or they they make the computer play the game for them, which would make them have a very good opening.
@IlFanchietto I don't mean to be rude, but right now you seem to be talking to yourself. it doesn't make much sense.
So read my previous articles before answering and you'll understand how it works.

You can drop me a challenge and try your chances - but please only if you think that I am not a cheat according to your evaluation-formula. :-)
I prefer 3+0 for blitz, but I do play 3+2 as well especially when I am playing without a mouse, from a laptop-touchpad.
If we ever play, I hope not to "land" on your best victories list, thats the goal. xD
@Funkmaus with pleasure ! it would be a good experience for me to play with someone so strong.
