Are plain proxies still reliable for basic anonymity and scraping? or What's the best way to use plai

"Are plain proxies still reliable for basic anonymity and scraping?"

yo, been using plain proxies for a while now, mostly for simple stuff like scraping and staying kinda anonymous.

but lately, i’ve been getting blocked more often. are they even worth it anymore? or should i just switch to residential/datacenter?

i get that plain proxies are cheap and easy, but are they still doing the job in 2024? or am i just wasting time?

anyone else still rocking plain proxies? how do you avoid blocks?

(also, if you’ve switched, what’s better?)
