Dude, it's already a thing. Private residential proxies are a premium product. Where do you think they get the proxies from? Fancy ass smart exercise bikes are more than likely being used to spam instagram with affiliate marketing by some dude that's paying $40 a month per bike.

Not gonna sound too edgy, but if you compare it to the entire smartphone market, in which, save google pixel and Apple, most manufacturers stop shipping updates after 3 years, it sounds almost beautifully safe.

How much will the spammers and hackers be peddling this on the black market? 😁
