I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.

I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

    Ok. Sounds like your in a unique situation. Good luck. You seem fucked.

    All the above worked for me.

      I also have the same problem as who you’re replying to on a few of my websites. The only way to block them is Anubis or Cloudflare WAF.

      I think you might be in the unique situation, to be honest. It may only be a matter of time until your solution also stops working.

        Agreed. The current situation seems to be a gazillion bots each making a single request. I’ve had some luck blocking whole ASNs (Alibaba, I’m glaring at you), and Anubis. I’ve had pretty good uptime the last few months.
