Thanks for this detailed perspective. You’re absolutely right that proxy rotation alone is not enough to explain what happens in real production scraping environments. The article was written as an introductory guide to proxy rotation, so I kept the focus on the core workflow: proxy pools, request distribution, retries, session handling, and responsible scraping patterns. But I agree that modern detection is much more layered than that. TLS fingerprinting, ASN classification, IP reputation, request timing, behavioral patterns, and browser-level fingerprints all contribute to how traffic is evaluated. Looking at success only through “how fast can I rotate proxies?” is too limited. A better approach is to measure success by proxy type, response quality, block rate, latency, session consistency, and overall request behavior. Your point about datacenter vs residential vs mobile proxies is also important. The proxy category itself can influence how traffic is scored before the actual request behavior is even considered. This is a good area for a follow-up article because it moves the conversation from basic proxy rotation into real-world scraping reliability and detection signals. I appreciate you pointing this out.
