What's the proportion of humans in the site ?

I saw a poll on youtube a few months back asking how many people have cheated on chess websites. I think it was by a guy named CHESSMEMEX or something, anyway it had about 20k votes and 17% of people admitted to cheating. So, whatever that means. I would imagine the percentage depends greatly on the rating of the account.
You could just be having a good day and then a bad day

Not that greatly, but the curiosity
Also, the queen on my captcha was invisible

Honestly, I'd guess it's this. I think it's pretty common to go on winning streaks and losing streaks. You may have gone on some extra long streaks, but that doesn't mean you're playing against engines.
Lichess has cheat detection. You either think it's effective or you don't. Nobody's answer here, no matter what it is, is likely to satisfy you given your replies so far.

I've been playing 10/0 rapid all day and several players were clearly cheating in my opinion, and very blatantly. Not just in my games where it was 1-0-0 or something. I would roll my eyes and analyze the past few games knowing exactly what the analysis would show and i was correct almost every time i was suspicious. No reports, no points back, haven't gotten a cheater detected notification in MANY months. So if I'm allowed to share my opinion on the matter, i think lichess is doing a very poor job dealing with cheaters. Just my humble opinion, feel free to disagree.
