    Nothing about this reads as ai generated to me. Just seems like someone explaining the struggles they’ve had with their site being scraped, and what they’ve tried in response

    Seems like exactly what it says on the tin if you ask me 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I tried to visit the site myself and the cloudflare human verification failed. My stuff is pretty locked down to avoid trackers and such. Oh well.
