because you are blocking all of Comcast, Verizon, T-Mobile, British Telecom, .... at the end you have blocked every network with human visitors and only datacenter IPs can access your site. The proxies rotate IP every day, so you either have ineffective blocking or you block the whole network.

My site is not for americans so I don't care about blocking american isps

You think they only use American networks?

It's not Cloudflare's title, the submitted invented it.

The submitter submitted a link to #bot-vs-human , the tile of which is > Bot vs. Human

The original submitted title (when I commented) was something like "Bots overtake human traffic for the first time".

Ah, I missed that. Then yes, I'm with you. I wish HN showed an edit history on titles:/

Funny how I get captcha looped with my adblocking in firefox but you can just get through easily with a few puppeteer plugins controlling headless chrome.

Average Firefox experience right here

It does feel like being a second class citizen in a lot of ways. But I press on. Chrome is adware and safari is often just as broken.

Dead internet theory

Wikipedia no longer calls it a 'conspiracy theory'. I guess it's confirmed then.

> while the "strong" version of the theory asserts that society itself collapsed because of some catastrophic event, and some entity (perhaps aliens or highly advanced artificial intelligence[31]) is keeping people connected to the internet to disguise this reality.

new can of worms unlocked, thanks!
