    Sure no problem. I just found a link that talks about it if you were curious to read a bit more. https://spur.us/blog/smart-tv-apps-residential-proxy-sdks

    These are the same SDKs uses in a lot of PC and mobile games too. This explains why bot/scraper traffic has exploded in the past couple of years. My small company's site gets well over a million hits a day, about 4% of that traffic is valid. It's total bullshit.
