Gonna have to call BS on the idea that proxies are dead or overhyped. Sure, they're not some magic wand, but let's be real here. The data doesn't lie, and it shows that proxies still matter big time, especially if u want to keep ur bot from getting DOA on the queue. People keep chasing the latest proxies like that's what makes or breaks, but if ur setup is trash or ur bot is slow as molasses, no proxy is gonna save u. Been through the cycle a hundred times, and trust me, the real fail is thinking proxies are some kind of silver bullet. U gotta focus on ur whole chain, IPs, configs, LP, LTV, all of it. If ur proxies are cheap or recycled and ur bot isn't optimized, ur just wasting ur money. The data's loud and clear no proxy can fix a weak setup. It's about stacking ur wins, not chasing the latest shiny proxy that some guru just dropped a post about.
