Yeah, Distil is the first outfit I've encountered where they've got the model to make it really hard to reliably bypass. It comes down to "I can spend a significant amount of time trying to bypass this, and I would, but they would likely identify and block me again within a few weeks at most.", and it's not worth it when it's only part of what I need to do to scrap some data, and it's their entire job, and they can afford to hire multiple people.

The economics are in their favor, and I make it a point not to fight economics when I recognize them, it's rarely sustainable.

Distil is really interesting.
