Yo, so I’ve been digging into this whole sticky vs rotating proxies debate, and honestly, it’s kinda confusing at first. Like, which one’s better? Depends on what you’re tryna do, ya know?

Sticky proxies are solid if you need to stay on the same IP for a while—like for logging into accounts or stuff that needs consistency. But rotating proxies? They’re like the ninjas of the proxy world, switching IPs on the fly. Perfect for scraping or avoiding bans.

Personally, I’d say sticky vs rotating proxies comes down to your use case. Need stability? Go sticky. Need stealth? Rotating all the way.

Also, anyone else find it annoying when people act like one’s *always* better? Nah, it’s situational, fam. What’s your take?
