for sure, using a custom TLS library like uTLS helps -- need to inject that GREASE cipher selection. I have a suspicion that private residential proxies are out of budget for many outfits, or the IPs are too few and then simple rate limiting kicks in? Who do you use if you're willing to share? I've not been happy with the, uhh, questionable ethics of Luminati/BrightData in the past.

There are definitely more and more sites doing TLS/TCP/etc fingerprinting or device attestation for mobile APIs, but it's still pretty rare. I mean Twitter is trying to limit requests by IP, so definitely amateur hour over there.

I use https://www.pingproxies.com/isp which is like $3/IP/month and unlimited bandwidth (I assume if you used a ridiculous amount they might charge you). Luminati pricing is extortionate. I have no idea how anyone doing anything at scale can afford $10/GB. I haven't investigated but I don't know if Twitter limits are per account or per IP.

Seriously. I don't even consider a provider if they want to charge for bandwidth. I'm doing about 50 TB/mo atm.
