The author does address this possibility in a reply: > it's very unlikely to be someone else because pricing is astronomical. you also have to "contact sales" to get access to anything outside of a free trial. no one would pay that much for a block of ips with terrible reputation https://x.com/uwukko/status/1842866807763308615 |

You don't have to contact sales if you are a Chinese-speaking customer. And pricing is fine. ByteDance has a different brand for their cloud services in China: https://www.volcengine.com/ [1]. But of course the underlying infrastructure are all the same.
This is very likely done by a Chinese customer using ByteDance's cloud service.
[1] Well, Alibaba Cloud did this too, and ByteDance is copying Alibaba 1:1 (who in turn is copying AWS) so I'm not surprised. But at least Alibaba named their international brand "Alibaba Cloud" and their CN one "AliCloud", similar enough.
