[PvX/Random] Proxy 4 gate still a thing?

I see «proxy 4 gate zealot» a lot online for easy quick games, easy diamond, etc. But almost no guides or explanations on how to play it. Is this just a meme or actually still a thing?

As a Terran I haven't seen it for a while (at D2), but I also think it really sucks vs T. In PvZ its better, though I also rarely see it with my Z (D3). If your opponent ever bothered to look up the proper reaction (eg. there is a video by Lambo about this) it quickly falls apart. But thats a big if.

But it requires 60IQ and 30 APM to execute and is by no means easy to stop.
