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

In half of my games, people play like literal grandmasters, so my rating was like 400. Now, I got like 4 messages from chess.com saying they caught cheaters and I'm back up a little bit.
