I don't understand the hate when people look at a countermeasure against unethical shit and complain about it instead of being upset at the unethical shit. And it's funny when it's the other way around, like cookie banners being blamed on GDPR not on the scumminess of some web operators.

I don't understand that some people don't realize that you can be upset about status que that both sides of the equation sucks. And you can hate thing and also the countermeasure that someone deploy against. These are not mutually exclusive.

    I didn't see parent be upset about both sides on this one. I don't see it implied anywhere that they even considered it.

      That quote is strong indication that he sees it this way.

        Yup, I'm against the AI scraping. But personally for me, the equation breaks when I'm getting delays and errors when just visiting a bug tracker.

        Sounds like maybe it'll be fixed soon though
