What do you mean these days? Live poker has always been and always will be in the players' best interest. It's real poker. Online poker is not real poker. There will always be scamming, cheating, and corruption on poker sites. Global Poker is no exception. So unless you're helping run the site, have incentives from the site, or are cheating, then online poker is almost always a -EV play.
I play chess every day, as well as poker, and I kid you not, I receive a message from chess.com every other month stating that someone was found cheating, and I'm given back my lost points. This is playing chess online for no money, and people still cheat, a lot. Now, think of a game that is played for money, where people have much more of an incentive to cheat. OF COURSE they're going to cheat. In fact, the majority of people playing online poker these days probably cheat in some way. Though, of course, I never get a message from Global saying they found someone cheating against me and my sweep coins have been returned.
When the owners of these sites are mostly scammers themselves, then, of course, most of the player pool will cheat as well, and nothing will ever really be done about it.
