They're funding criminal organizations in the same way you're funding one if you get your hair cut at a hair salon which works as a front for money laundering.
That is, mostly unknowingly, perhaps suspecting what's going on, but politely trying to ignore it for their own convenience.
A hair salon is a legitimate business. "Residential proxies" have very little legitimate use, and are sourced by unethical means, so it's not a fair comparison.
>"Residential proxies" have very little legitimate use
You have to be joking. Having seen a list of biggest Luminati contracts, legitimate use makes up probably well over 90% of traffic via these services.
It’s companies like Expedia and OpenAI, not Nigerian princes.
Yeah sure, fraud happens. Those customers aren’t even lucrative because posting scam ads on Craigslist or wherever does not use much bandwidth. Criminals also use Google search.

Watching netflix is plenty legitimate in my book.
