PoW anti-bot/scraping/DDOS was already being done a decade ago, I’m not sure why it’s only catching on now. I even recall a project that tried to make the PoW useful.

Xe here. If I had to guess in two words: timing and luck. As the G-man said: the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. I was the right shitposter in the right place at the right time.

And then the universe blessed me with a natural 20. Never had these problems before. This shit is wild.

Squeeze that lemon as far as it'll go mate, god speed and may the good luck continue.
