Yes, but the point is that big company crawlers aren’t paying for questionably sourced residential proxies.
If this person is seeing a lot of traffic from residential IPs then I would be shocked if it’s really Amazon. I think someone else is doing something sketchy and they put “AmazonBot” in the user agent to make victims think it’s Amazon.
You can set the user agent string to anything you want, as we all know.
I wonder if anyone has checked whether Alexa devices serve as a private proxy network for AmazonBot’s use.
