Cheap proxies can work if you rotate fast enough and limit request rates. I've seen some legit scrapers do well with cheap IPv4s if you keep them lightweight. Don't assume high quality is always necessary

Last month I tested v4 and v6 proxies for a project, and honestly I didn't see much difference in flagging unless the proxies were trash. I think the whole "newer, less used" vibe with v6 is kinda marketing but also might be true if you get fresh pools. Imho, it's not just about protocol, more...

100% agree, fast wins are rare. Most guys making real money are putting in months of steady work. Quick schemes just burn out fast.

I've seen plenty of ppl claim proxies help with scalping but honestly I doubt it makes much difference. Most sites track more than just IP, like cookies, device fingerprinting, etc. If you really wanna stay under the radar, just using a proxy isn't enough, you need a more sophisticated approach.

just my 2 cents: VPN extensions are like 10-15% of what full apps do in terms of privacy and speed. I tested streaming on a 4K site with an extension, got around 20-25% lower speeds, but with full apps I hit 70+ Mbps on a 100 Mbps connection. so if u want reliable unblocking and HD streams, full...

Like 10% of my clicks now, maybe less. Its just not a main revenue stream anymore, if you ask me. Still decent for quick cash but long term? Nah. Better to diversify or move on.

been saying this for years lol

Using services with transparent audits is smart. Check for third-party audit reports or transparency reports on their site. Might save you from surprises later.

man been doing this 3 years and gotta correct the OP on one thing. Saying some proxies are "scraped IPs that are already flagged" isn't always true. Sometimes legit proxies get flagged just cuz of bad reputation or shared IPs, not necessarily scraped. It's about reputation, not just origin...

Honestly I think you should be cautious. Just because one proxy provider works now doesn't mean it'll keep working long term. Google changes things fast, and proxies that work today might get blocked tomorrow. Always have backup plans or rotate proxies regularly.

Last month I got banned using cheap datacenter proxies in a niche. It's not just the IPs, it's the fingerprinting that catches you. Cheap usually means corner-cutting, and sites know it.

Last month I did a similar thing, got like 150 leads direct, payout was low too, but the stability was way better than the network. Sometimes I think the real game is in building those direct relationships, even if the payout isn't huge. The network rollercoaster gets old fast if you're trying...

Spot on. I had a buddy whose VPN got subpoenaed last year, and all they did was hand over logs. Nothing happened to him, but it was a reminder how some VPNs keep logs you probably shouldn't trust. Always assume they will turn over data if pressed hard enough.

ngl man, if I had a dollar for every pitch that got ignored lol. Maybe try increasing your follow-up rate, I've seen ppl double their success just by pinging again after a week.
