I am curious if I got it right, but the business of the company is providing exit nodes for AI bots/ strangers via peoples residential IP's? This is my impression from accessing the website. I was interested at first, but now I got a bit of ethical doubts about it.
- m00dy 2mo agoYep, everyone comes out happy here. It's a win-win-win. Unlike other proxy businesses, we always get our providers' consent before adding them to our pool.
- delecti 2mo agoWhat about the people receiving traffic that fraudulently looks like it's coming from a different location?
- coldstartops 2mo agoI think OPs mantra is "Scrape. Automate. Scale." It feels like people who consent to this "passive" income, do not understand what they consent to. The business model seems grey towards black. "Signup to be part of 3rd party bot farms exit node, you get paid, all will be good. Nothing bad happens, you consent"
- m00dy 2mo agoI think you’re steering this conversation in a direction that isn’t really meaningful. We have security mechanism in place that prevents misuse and fraud.
