I hate this argument. All cyber security is an arms race. If this helps small site owners stop small bot scrapers, good. Solutions don't need to be perfect.

I worked at a major tech company in 2018 who didn't take security seriously because that was literally their philosophy, just refusing to do anything until it was an absolute perfect security solution, and everything else is wasted resources.

I left since then and I continue to see them on the news for data leaks.

Small brain people man.

Did they lock their doors?

So many companies let perfect become the enemy of good and it's insane. Recently some discussion about trying to get our team to use a consistent formatting scheme devolved into this type of thing. If the thing being proposed is better than what we currently have, let's implement it as is then if you have concerns about ways to make it better let's address those later in another iteration.

I bet someone like cloudflare could bounce them around traps across multiple domains under their DNS and make it harder to detect the trap.
