How are paid proxies objectively better than free ones?

Sometimes I read that free proxies are good for one-time tasks when it does not make sense to pay for a paid proxy. But if they are good for one-time tasks, why would they not be enough for other tasks too? Anyway, I hope I explained it more or less clearly.

>No idea, I do not know much about it. I would start with a free proxy first. In general, if there is something free, I always start with that.

For me, stability of the proxy is most important. I am not saying that free proxies work badly, they are just unstable. With floppydata I pay for paid proxies and I recommend click here to generally learn more about this proxy provider. They have clean and checked proxies, fewer people on one ip, and support as well, which is super important. Free proxies are probably worth using for testing if you need one-time use. But in my experience they are often very slow or completely dead. You do not spend money, but you spend your time.
