A funny side effect of the crackdown on "AI" scraping is that I keep getting banned from sites for browsing too quickly.
I barely use reddit anymore and I still managed to get IP banned for scraping while I was clicking on posts with no automation (I got an error page basically suggesting I contact reddit if I want a license to their data instead of scraping).

@danluu What kind of usage is that? Opening two dozen background tabs quickly? I may be very prejudiced, having only touched Reddit in passing. Just trying to get a sense of how extreme its policy is.

@jonathanavt Probably more like 3-15 a few times in a row (and reading them in between opening).
Apparently other people are seeing the same thing, e.g., https://bsky.app/profile/push.cx/post/3la5vkviswx26, https://www.threads.net.
