Is chess.com doing anything to prevent cheating?

OMG.  I recently returned to Chess.com and I am shocked at the amount of low rated players using engines to finish or play games.    I have 15 years of playing chess and it is obvious when someone is using an engine when they are low rated.   The question is what is Chess.com doing to stop this  and why should anyone pay to play here if they cannot stop it?

I forgot- Yes I am low rated on chess.com. It is sort of hard to increase points to get where I am playing people at 1600+ level when the 1000-1500 players are using engines. yes... not a high rated player. I get it.
