yo different angle: maybe Netflix just wants u to pay for legit subs, lowkey. VPNs are a hack but they keep upping the game. no shame in bailing and going legit if it's stressing u
Ever actually scraped a lot with residentials? They still get blocked if you go too hard. 30% safer is lowkey hype, cheaper proxies can be just as good if you rotate right.
35% of my tests show SOCKS5 getting flagged more, but I think it's all about IP quality. pro tip: rotate socks5 IPs more often, or use residential proxies. lowkey, ppl forget that
Ever deal with a network that paid late and kinda ghosted after? I once had a network disappear on me right before payday, was wild. Always had to keep backups and double-check reviews, lowkey
last month i was in the same boat, ended up tweaking the MTU and disabling QoS, speeds got way better on router vpn but yeah the stability tradeoff is real.
Last month I ran a test, got like 2% CTR on pop/redirect but bounce was 70%+. If you find the right network, like with legit geo targeting and strict ref filters, can squeeze out 1-2k rev a day. But yeah, it's all about filtering trash.
been doing this 4 years, and honestly i lowkey think dedicated IPs only matter if ur rly worried about getting flagged by anti-fraud scripts, but for pure privacy? eh. u ever tested how much info leaks from a dedicated IP vs a shared?
exactly, real-world tests are king. I tried both in my niche, SOCKS5 was more stable but HTTPs gave me a tiny boost in speed, so yeah, gotta experiment.
yo just my 2 cents: how are you handling creative fatigue? maybe try A/B testing new angles constantly or automating some of the refreshes. are you tracking what actually keeps the cpa low at scale?
