Online chess is dead too many cheaters, really too many using browser extensions in critical moves, so they they never will be banned, and so why to play? Really too many cheaters, they play in the same way, human moves in the opening, human moves in the beginning of the middle game then engine moves bring them the victory, wow fantastic strategy, so this is the fashion of contemporary chess in the platforms. Congratulations.

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