So I cancelled my membership and have now lost about 20 in a row. Down 150 points and not a single blunder from my recent opponents at a level i was 2-1 winning last week.... never buying again.

That's purely your problem as you're just bad at chess or you're unlucky. It has nothing to do with chess.com, but some of your opponents might be cheating. If you suspect that they're cheating, report it.

I can bet all my money that at least 30% of everyone here cheat. And no there is no cheat detection here.

There's nowhere near a 30% incidence of unfair play. At high rating levels it's going to be higher than lower rating levels but even there, it's nowhere near that.
