Re:Ask HN: Should you block web scrapers? by jorgecurio on Monday February 01, 2016 @03:39PM (#11015214)
Of course it's not possible to 100% block ALL scrapers, much like the debate surrounding obfusticating javascript.

The point is to increase the cost of developing a scraper to a maxima where ROI begins to rapidly deteriorate. I'm trying to identify techniques and methods which will:

- identify real users apart from bot users

- increase the costs for the bot
