      This was actually my life a few years ago.

      I was hardening our applications to stop scraping and automation bots.

      Then contributing to open-source to have better scraping and automation.

      I wasn’t purposely creating loop holes or anything because that’s highly illegal. It’s about making sure both sides “play nice”, because the automation bots are frequently used by spammers/evildoers.
