Lots of companies run these kind of crawlers now as part of their products.

They buy proxies and rotate through proxy lists constantly. It's all residential IPs, so blocking IPs actually hurts end users. Often it's the real IPs of VPN service customers, etc.

There are lots of companies around that you can buy this type of proxy service from.
