FWIW, StarVPN claims to have "ethically sourced" IPs. That is, not from botnets. Their pricing is quite a bit higher than many (cheapest plan is $20/month), but could be worth trying.

The "residential VPN" providers setup fake ISPs or buy AT&T/Verizon business circuits with large blocks of IPs and sell them as residential.

They are easily detected if you are buying IP intelligence from one of the higher quality providers: https://app.spur.us/context?q=STARVPN_PROXY

That's helpful to know. I wasn't aware of this.
