their static ip's were initially good and didn't get flagged, but now most sites are recognizing their ip ranges and blocking.
Muse's utility has significantly dropped with the blockages.
To become truly useful again they will need to use residential proxies, but I can't see them use those due to the risks and reputational damage.

    How can it do this? Wouldn't you see a hundred fetch requests in your browser network tab?
