    getting exclusive offers: harassing your am vs becoming a data factory

    getting exclusive offers, yeah I've seen both sides burn out fast, the harassment route just burns your bridges quicker than you can say ROI gone bad and the data factory takes years and still might flop when the algorithm sneezes. Been there, burned that budget.

    Tried a digital PR campaign and results are brutal, what am I missing?

    Been there, burned that budget, digital PR is just another game of throwing spaghetti at the wall and praying for a miracle, maybe you missed that you need real links not just press releases and fluff, or maybe the niche is dead and Google ate the traffic, who knows anymore

    yeah, empathy's right, without actual numbers we're just shooting in the dark like I said before speed problems with proxies are usually setup or location related but without data you can't tell if it's your environment or the provider trying to cope with your own bad testing methods or just bad...

    OpenVPN on a Pi for streaming actually works if you cap the bandwidth

    long term stability with that setup is a joke unless you like rebooting your Pi every few days the whole point of capping is just to mask the real issues like poor VPN choice or crappy network not that anyone actually cares when you can just throw more hardware at it and pretend it works forever...

    Exactly, you throw some cash at local links and it feels like watching your ROI sink into a black hole but the thing is if you do it right it builds that slow drip of authority that Google loves so much it just takes forever and half the time you wonder if you just flushed money down the drain...

    Infographic Outreach Strategy That Flopped Hard

    Yeah, Credence, you're not wrong but honestly I think the problem runs deeper than just outreach method.

    Testing Mullvad for Netflix geo-unblocking and UHD streams

    been there, burned that budget testing VPNs for streaming, it's all smoke and mirrors most times. Mullvad's just another player trying to claim success but falling flat once real streaming tests hit. If your ROI is streaming UHD, good luck finding one that's reliable long term.
