Catching/stopping people who want to cheat for profit is something I personally think is never going to happen.

For a time, I would buy keys for CS:GO and different Steam accounts and use a subscription based cheat provider to provide me with ESP/chams on screen. I knew that overwatch/admins would be seeing the demos as the accounts were new Starting from unranked meant you would be under scrutiny already so I adjusted my playstyle.

I learned not to linger around looking at walls. People's movement patterns and decision making eventually became predictable as I reviewed demos or learned in the middle of a match how players have habits and abused that information. I was able to determine when to throw a round away to avoid suspicion and deliberately ensured I had a string of 2/3 bad games every so often so my K/D wasn't insane. I never used any aim assists, spinbots etc., and I always, always communicated with my team through ingame VOIP (not giving cheat calls) and maintained a legit facade.

I went undetected for nearly 2 years and sold hundreds of CS accounts successfully and made a tidy profit doing it. It's another string of the gaming industry that brings in money and it will never go away.

I like to think of it as an online drug war, however insensitive that may seem.

At that point, you're putting more effort into cheating than regular players do at playing the game lol
