The anti-bot stuff on X is overtly aggressive.

Which is funny, given such a large portion of these sites (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit) are all bots and spam.

They somehow have anti bot infra that is both incredibly annoying to real users and somewhat ineffective. And I'd even believe that they may have pretty good accuracy, but the sheer scale of the spam still impacts real users.

Yeah I do still run into some bots, but nowhere near as bad as it used to be, if that makes sense.
