Why do I get some fake filler results

Closed

In order to fill minimum 10 results I understand that scraper fills the output with fake objects: { "dataType": "fake", "body": "Filler result to achive minimum 10 items for Pay per Result run" } I am curious why is this the case?

This is to cover the initialization cost of the scraper since it takes some time for the first results to be returned.

That's understandable but -friendly advice- talk to Apify to get to a price structure like with a set minimum per run, getting rows of

{ "dataType": "fake", "body": "Filler result to achive minimum 10 items for Pay per Result run" },

does not really look good, honestly and I think would hardly fly with the marketplace, in the interest of transparency.
