Brightdata is formerly known as as Luminati who is owned by same company as Hola VPN.

Similarly NordVPN owns Oxylabs (who mostly hack routers and cameras and sell those as residential IP’s).

I never checked their business practice. But I use Luminati rotating residential proxies for a lot of my scraping work.

Mostly to avoid hitting 'ddos protections' or other security bullshit that doesn't really make sense on 1 daily request or so.
