Web scrapers are insane. $249 for 100k results. I wrote a 578 line node script and used 50 dedicated proxies to grab 40 million results in 24 hours. The IP addresses are $2/month/proxy. The data is $0. Y'all should learn to code.

1000 true fans is all you need. 1000 * $100/year = $100,000/year What it doesn't tell you: 1000 true fans = 10,000+ private audience. 10,000+ private audience = 100,000+ in traffic. 100,000 in traffic = 1,000,000+ in impressions. Distribution matters. Find your niche.
