Ethically dubious article. Treats using "residential proxies", which are probably installed by some kind of cybercriminal, as a legitimate thing to do. Similarly, treats circumventing anti-scraping measures as a legitimate thing to do. They aren't. Take the hint, ignore web sites with some kind of anti-bot, or anti-scraper system. Ignore web sites with a scraper junkyard. Those people don't want you to have their content.

When a website upgrades its anti-bot system, it doesn't just make scraping slightly harder. It can make it 5X, 10X, or even 50X more expensive overnight.

This, of course, is very good news. Keep up the good work, folks!
