In general I think that getting into an arms race with scrapers is not something that you will win, but if you have a dedicated account for each user you can at least take some action.
If this data is actually valuable, they should put it behind some sort of registration. Then they can swap out the planted data for each user to something that links back to the unique account, without wrecking things for users with accessibility needs or unusual setups.
