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).
