Just tossed a $40 'squirrel-proof' feeder after watching a gray squirrel dismantle it in under ten minutes.

What's a feeder that's actually held up for you guys?

You're right about the spite, but I went the other way. I started putting out a little pile of cheap peanuts away from the feeder. It's like a squirrel toll. They check the peanuts first now and leave the feeder alone most of the time. It's not perfect, but it turns a war into a weird little bargain.

Stop trying to beat the squirrels, you will lose. They have nothing but time and spite. I gave up and just got a cheap platform feeder they can raid, it's less frustrating. Watching them figure stuff out is kind of the point anyway.
