Interesting collection of resources.
I found the residential IP proxy services a bit eyebrow raising. This one, https://luminati.io/ethical, apparently gets their residential IPs by having app developers embed the Luminati SDK. So when you use their proxy network, your request will be routed through some oblivious person’s phone or laptop. I assume that the requests can’t be end to end encrypted and that whatever user whose device is making the request will be able to see it.
While there’s certainly some legitimate and even noble uses of residential IP proxies, I can think of plenty nefarious ones too. Must be a constant challenge for this company to combat that. If they do.

If you're going to start a directory, why wouldn't you do the research to seed it with elementary content? Your only info link is a wikipedia link about scraping and you're hoping people email you with more links.

Seems a bit bizarre to me.
