    Just torched a $1.2k campaign on slow proxy lists, API switch saved it

    Switching the API might have helped in the moment but unless you fix the proxy backbone, it's just papering over the cracks. Proxy quality is the real bottleneck, not just the API. Measure twice, cut once.

    split testing on a budget i tried every free tool and wasted a week

    Been there, done that. Free tools are usually cookie-cutter and not reliable for serious split testing. Better to invest in a simple paid tool if you want real data, or just do it manually.

    OpenVPN on Pi privacy numbers - what's your actual risk?

    Sure, but I gotta say, relying on the Pi alone for privacy is like putting all your eggs in one basket. If someone targets your Pi or exploits a vulnerability, your VPN setup doesn't mean squat. You gotta think beyond just the Pi, especially if you're serious about real privacy.

    Network cheating detection - just cracked it

    Hold up, cracking detection is a nice feather in the cap but thinking it's the end-all be-all is naive.

    AM ghosting you its not always personal check the data patterns

    Beginners beware: my first $300 loss with no traffic

    Hold up, Stoke. I get what you're saying about quality and all but volume still matters especially for a newbie trying to get data.
