Was comparing proxy providers manually by running my own small tests, which took forever and the results kept changing. https://floppydata.com/residential-proxy-benchmark/ A data scientist I follow on Mastodon linked this, saying it matched her own internal testing closely. That endorsement carried weight. The scale of testing here dwarfs what any individual could do, tens of thousands of requests across multiple time windows. The USA IP freshness data answered questions I could not test myself without spending a fortune. I abandoned my DIY testing and just used these results to make my decision. Saved weeks of work and my picks have been performing exactly as the benchmarks predicted. Trust validated numbers over your own limited tests every time.
- Yes it is Form of Censorship
- If you're not liked or singled out, Reddit will delete and mark as spam any of your posts it doesn't like, even if they don't break any rules or are about sensible topics. On all of your postings, you will see a message similar to the one below.
- 'The Spam filters of Reddit have removed this post. The automated bots on Reddit routinely filter postings that they believe are spam.'
- You'll be trolled, and spiteful mods will leave horrible insulting comments up while removing yours.
- Some of the subreddits' mods are unpleasant and vengeful. They will ban you without telling you why, and then go on to delete all of your postings, even if there was nothing wrong with them, rather than just the one.
