   I already blogged about this at https://jan.wildeboer.net/2025/02/Blocking-Stealthy-Botnets/

   I might rewrite that blog post to make the problem clearer. And to explain why I am now of the opinion that *every* form of web-scraping should be considered abusive. If you think your web-scraping is acceptable behaviour, you can thank these shady companies and the "AI" hype for moving you to the bad corner.

   TL;DR certain companies recruit app developers to create botnets. Botnets are malware. Period.

   The web is broken, IMHO.
