Simply as I used to be getting ready to put in writing this intro, I discovered a small spike of anomalous visitors that, upon additional investigation, ought to have been blocked. So we've pivoted once more, including but extra logic to try to give legit people one of the best expertise doable while making it painful for the bots. Thankfully, we're doing this with assets which have minimal influence if a restricted variety of bot requests come by, but it surely does make for a difficult if not considerably infuriating expertise.
