When did we start calling things "residential proxies" as opposed to "botnets"? I feel like the latter term, while perhaps not as descriptive, has a much better "this is evil" message.


It's not a botnet. The fact that you're trying to use that term because you prefer the emotions it gives you instead of a different term based on reality is all anyone should need to reject your suggestion
