I just don’t believe there is anyone on this site who isn’t cheating. I’ve lost all faith in it.
Sort:
See title. I’d love to be proven wrong, but I think I’m past that now
Ooh, me! I’m not cheating.
Look at my blitz games, they’re absolute trash. No way I’m cheating.
There are millions of people on this site. Just how can you prove that all of them are cheating?
Sure, there are a lot of cheaters, but seriously, don’t just assume that all of us are cheaters.

Well ok u will rephrase it. Every time I start a game, I have no way of knowing whether someone is cheating and all the fun is gone. I just can’t take it seriously anymore. I’m really saddened. Yes I’m sure some people aren’t cheating. But if any are, this site is useless
I don’t know if anyone can cheat and be around 100 ELO. The cheaters are more around 1200-2200.
That’s the point. There is no game to focus on if there are cheaters in it. It’s just a dance

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
