Requiring readers to log in to view content doesn't really work. Some will register so that they can use the account to crawl. Some won't even care if they are requesting hundreds of URLs a minute. Sure, that sets off alarms, but it's a game of whack-a-mole again.by speckx

Malicious actors also buy 'aged' accounts, so you'd need to continually monitor this reputation? Seems a hard challenge to solve for individual site owners.by agmater

It's easy and effective, aged accounts buying is rare and cumbersome, when the rest are filtered out, the "buyers" stick out like sore thumbs... then wackamole is fun.by bigbadfeline
