Companies spend thousands of dollars on these anti-bot solutions and then they are so misconfigured that using a specific user agent or faking browsing via mobile, bypasses them. Real life stories.

Often this is because you are hamstrung by old mobile apps or TV apps that can't be updated forcibly and so you break users. So your making a trade-off of user pain and bot deflection. So many times this is actually known and on purpose. Botters hitting that loophole helps prioritize closing that loophole in an agile customer experience and makes it easier for engineering and product to prioritize. Real life stories
