   Shouldn't the solution be to gate bulk access for automated services for a price? Not just the wayback machine, any personal or corporate website?

   My blogs are getting slammed and there are issues with cloudflare or captchas.

      Fine in theory but determined scrapers will use residential proxies in bulk.

         These should be illegal unless users sign off on every fucking byte.

         Make a user download and hash 100GB of junk data before being allowed in. Residential proxies cost a lot per GB.
