   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.

      Most residential proxies are already far more blocked and rate limited than any Meta IP. The internet is becoming a very weird place, where individual and "trusted" personal IPs are becoming a kind of commodity. Some sites are already scoring IPs based on usage activity - like a credit score. It's only a matter of time until this data is collated and commoditised. AI analysis is turning this up to 11.

         That doesn’t track with reality as far as I can tell.
