It amuses me how half assed every single corps “anti bot” or “anti fraud” systems work. Like they are so easily triggered for false positives and so not ever triggered when i’m actually scraping massive amounts of content from their services. And then when they do “catch” something they think is unwanted they try to stop it by just blocking the IP address.

I’m doing this shit for entertainment and I have like 300 VPN servers and pretty much unlimited residential proxy access, If i wanted to do harm, or scrape your web service, there is nothing your underpaid and unmotivated IT staff can do to stop me.

I can just Imagine how easy it is for actual criminals wanting to do actual crimes like stealing personal information.
