@kskarthik@fe.disroot.org I haven't used it. The WMF video I linked in the post talks about avoiding Proof-of-Work schemes for environment concerns. As a person who has done a lot of web scraping myself, and a fan of sites like Internet Archive, I don't want to block bots altogether from websites either.
