    Yeah, people think this is like trying to stop drive by bots that are looking for PHP vulnerabilities, it isn’t.

    Usually you are attempting to stop someone who is spending their entire day trying to scrape your site. It’s a full time job trying to stop them and even then it’s a cat and mouse game at best.

    Still don’t think Elon is going to get anywhere with this though.
