Comment on Cheapskate's Guide: Nuking web-scraping bots

This is signal detection theory combined with an arms race that keeps the problem hard. You cannot block scrapers without blocking people, and you cannot inconvenience bots without also inconveniencing readers. You might figure something clever out temporarily, but eventually this truism will resurface. Excuse me while I solve a few more captchas.

The internet as we know it is dead, we just need a few more years to realise it. And I’m afraid that telecommunications will be going the same way, when no-one can trust that anyone is who they say anymore.
