Look, I get the residential hype, but let me tell you something - if you think only residential proxies can get you wins you're missing the bigger picture. Yeah, they're less likely to get flagged fast, but that speed and stealth game? It's a moving target and overhyped sometimes. I've seen enough in the trenches to know that quality datacenter proxies can still do the job if you set up your timing right, your bot optimized, and your targeting smart. The real deal is owning your traffic sources. Relying solely on residential proxies from BrightProx, Mobiflow or ProxyWave is like renting success - you're just hoping they don't burn you out. Been there, done that. You want real wins? Own your pipelines, diversify your sources, and stop putting all your eggs in the residential basket. Proxies are just a piece of the puzzle. The grind is figuring out how to outsmart the detection systems, not just throwing money at residential proxies and praying for the best. Speed, stealth, reliability - yes, they all matter, but if you're falling for the myth that only residential is king, you're gonna keep getting burned by the algorithm updates. I say test everything, own your traffic, and don't get complacent thinking proxies alone will save your ass. That's rookie talk
