Ask them? How would we know in their behalf?

I’ve done the same, but they eventually need to provide a bank account, which generally is at their name

Cryptocurrency is generally preferred by anons in my experience.

We already know the growth rate doesn’t continue, their q3 is a massive slowdown compared the 26H1.

Also, ARR as in Annualized Run Rate is a bullshit, non-standard metric only used to mislead investors


The republican approach to governing:

1. Destroy the country

2. Complain your opposition doesn’t solve all the problems you contributed to


They have like 26 different dates IIRC

...nearly same range as SpaceX/XSI? :-D

You can say Elon

Residential proxy is the industry euphemism. In most cases they aren’t set up willingly. Access is sold to various bad actors, for data collection, botnets, or for a clean residential exit IP

Since when is data collection uniformly bad? In an age where variable pricing is the norm for services and products all over the place, and Google is no longer an effective search engine even if one turns on the "verbatim" option and turns off the AI features, and most people are in a position where it's wise to be frugal thanks to the runaway debt and nonsensical application of tariffs have made everything from ground beef to sporting event tickets sometimes double in price compared to just a few years ago, but exactly how much more is entirely opaque. Also, no service is even particularly good at detecting proxies unless they are actually part of some large oversold ip pool, which isn't even close to the actual case in the wild.

Spur.us on purchasable IPs from a site that sells microtargeted IPs and not large IP pool packages:

Unlimited traffic, under a dollar a pop, what good is a service when it returns the same info as my own ip? It's just hucksters all the way down. The result is that whoever takes some time or already has the skills to appear inconspicuous to the arbitrary standards set by a few almost-literal gatekeepers will have fewer problems running automations compared to the average user who are liable to run into what's turning into a general enshittification of the internet writ large. It's not, after all, illegal to use a residential, or any, proxy service on its own. Although my guess is that the anti-bot measures are going to exacerbate the already flagging economy if it haven't already, it's always going to be the boogeyman du jour who gets the blame, and not the overzealous and mindless policing and gatekeeping who of course would never admit to being part of the problem, even though they are absolutely part of the problem.


The next administration needs to redo the whole infrastructure from scratch. They have to assume everything is compromised

Markdown, not code

I like how the can absolutely never provide anything specific. It’s always „it helps with everything!“. Like what exactly Gary?
