  • ah yes. I love going to the poker table and asking to buy various joker cards to increase my score.

    why do they look at me funny when I ask for a planet card? Why arent they giving me a tarot card?

    Wait why are there so many people at this table, I thought this was a solo game?

    … what do you mean I have to wager real money? I just wanted to battle various blinds.

    poker!


  • yes i did read OP.

    ed. i see this was downvoted without a response. But il put this out there anyway.

    If you host a public site, which you expect anyone can access, there is very little you can do to exclude an AI scraper specifically.

    Hosting your own site for personal use? IP blocks etc will prevent scraping.

    But how do you identify legitimate users from scrapers? Its very difficult.

    They will use your traffic up either way. Dont want that? You could waste their time (tarpit), or take your hosting away from public access.

    Downvoter. Whats your alternative?
